We had some initial technical difficulties with NextCloud Talk, but we were able to figure it out.

We have 2 Europallets of full expired drinks. They were initially bought at Ruppert.

We need to coodinate the drink pickup:

• Do people need to bring their crates back?
• What if Ruppert doesn't take them back?
  • deflenken asked fantawams, who said he used to contact Ruppert directly.
  • virii said he'd call Ruppert.
• virii's plan B idea is Heinz or Pallbuttek for Club Mate crates.
  • This would not solve Flora bottles/crates, though.
  • virii's plan C is getting rid of the bottles in the glass container, and cutting the crates up and putting them in the trash.

We have an upcoming meeting with the VDL, they have not yet told us anything, but it sounds like they might want to renovate the building.

If needed, depending on what is needed from us, we will have a CM to discuss the outcome of this meeting.

The date was recently set to February 21. The initial email has been sent, we'll send the official invitation soon.

We decided against it.

We'd have liked to participate, but the event happens during the week and members have date conflicts, making it difficult to be present.

We've been asked by someone if we could have some kind of workshop or presentation on Digital Independence.

We're definitely open to doing something, ideally we could also invite some Entente members, as it would most likely be useful to them too.

The mail server had some problems recently. The spam filter has been increased, this has caused it to have much higher sensitivity in its spam filtering.

If you have an abnormal count of false positives, please report this to virii.

Freifunk Luxembourg needs to change to WireGuard before Feb 1st, as Mullvad will disable OpenVPN. Maybe we could use that opportunity to install Jitsi too.

We have a bunch of TP-Link APs in the Lab room, which are supported in newer OpenWrt/gluon versions.

xbr still wants to maintain Freifunk Luxembourg, though getting new nodes remotely, and thus growing the network, is a bit difficult. xbr is also currently experimenting with NixOS as a replacement for Ansible.
