[BLU/Officers] Historical Meeting notes files & videos

[Bill Ricker]

I was browsing through www.blu.org and the youtube directory looking over
my old content while discussing some crypto stuff with Kurt, Brian, and
Stephen and noticed the following -

   - I hadn't noticed the flipbook option in meeting notes before, that's
   awesome!
   Easier to check my old talks that way than on my own harddrive :-D.
   - Going up from a meeting note does not get a list of notes for that
   meeting, /meetings/2017/04/ says "Directory indexing in this area is
   disabled. For links to these files, see the Table of Contents
   <http://www.blu.org/meetings/> page".
   - The Meeting notes page <http://www.blu.org/meetings/> still says <<2001
   DEC 19 - "Talk by Bill Ricker">> while the speaker tags has been
   corrected
   (i.e. doesn't appear on my personal page) to match abstract "*Matthew
   Brodeur*" on http://www.blu.org/cgi-bin/calendar/2001-dec
   - Meeting Notes page has no files for my Sept talks in 2009 2013 2017
   2018 2019 ... which probably mean i never sent them.
   I should remedy that.
      - I sh/could provide additional screen shots for 2011 demo,
      since the video has only a backlit me and not the screen.
      (I was seated since convalescent.)
      (I recreated that demo as an email yesterday and made a PDF.)
      - Brainstorming ...
      - Is it possible to get the meeting notes listed on
      http://www.blu.org/meetings/ to appear as Attachments on the
      individual Calendar Abstract pages linked from
      http://www.blu.org/cgi-bin/calendar/speakers/b-ricker1 and
      http://www.blu.org/cgi-bin/calendar/$YYYY ?
      - (It does show icon and link if a YouTube exists, but i didn't see a
      paperclip icon to indicate meeting notes files exist. A deep link to the
      Meeting notes section would be ideal.)
      - Folks that navigate to the Calendar=abstract pages won't know there
      are other files available, the GPG how-two and registration "
      *Attachments*" look like that's all there is.
      - (Likewise, a link from the meeting notes page to the abstract page
      would make navigation easier.)
      - Should the BLU Youtube have Playlists for frequent/repeat
      speakers/topics ?
   - Q. Did the plan to merge screen captures as picture-in-picture or
   side-by-side with the livestream ever work out?
   (PIP seems to work well for conferene videos. I can watch side-by-side
   since I have a ridiculously large screen, but will ensmallen everything on
   laptop or tablet.)
   - Frequently at least for my September talks the abstract captured in
   http://www.blu.org/cgi-bin/calendar/$YYYY  is the original PGP
   announcement, without my later specifics on what the entertainment before
   the circular firing squad is.
   Q. For history, would you like / could you use additional paragraphs
   that explicate what the video or files would be ?
