<tt>I am going to shoot for about 40 minutes worth of slides. Given
my past history at BLU, I expect it will actually take me 80
minutes to get through :-) Brian and I decided that it would make
more sense for us to talk about a budget build in a separate
meeting later.<br>
<br>
I will send you an abstract of the talk over the weekend once I
have a chance to put the outline together.<br>

Brian: would you like to talk about options for a

I agree that Jitsi worked great last time - it used it
once about a year ago, but it seems to be a lot more
polished now. After the last BLU meeting I've used it
for remote family IT support and it's been remarkably
painless!<br>

<div>Hi, guys. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I haven't received a response yet from Mike
Frysinger about his Gentoo talk for the May
BLU meeting. I just sent him another email
asking him to confirm by tomorrow (Fri May
1st) whether he'll be able to give hisd talk
on May 20. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I imagine at this point it's unlikely he'll
be available, even if he does respond. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Assuming he's not available, can you guys
do a BLU talk remotely in Jitsi on May 20
about the AMD Ryzen and its HPC implications?

perhaps you guys can do an AMD
