TOPIC 1 of 2:


Well, I utterly failed to have a CABAL meeting on Jitsi Meet a couple 
of weeks ago, so we'll do it _today_ (Saturday the 24th), 4pm - 8pm.

Where?  Here, via videoconferencing:  http://meet.jit.si/cabal


You will need:

o  Computer w/supported Web browser.  Best results reported with:
      o  Chromium
      o  Chrome
      o  Microsoft Edge v. 79.0.309 or later
      o  (some others, e.g., Firefox, might work but are not guaranteed)

o  A computer with mic and speakers/headphones.  Headphones/earbuds
   are recommended (because they avert audio feeback loops).

Upon joining @ that URL, your browser will probably ask if the page
may have permission to connect to your microphone and speaker.  Say yes.


If you haven't done computer videoconferencing before:

o  You can check your setup for problems at https://test.webrtc.org/ .
   (Don't worry about minor bobbles like 'Reflexive connectivity'
   getting dinged.)

o  You might want to show up 15 minutes early, to thrash out problems.
   (Problems are common during first-time videoconferencing.)
                   
If you can't (or would rather not) videoconference in, via Web browser,
you can _instead_ join audio-only by dialing in telephonically.

Call-in numbers and access PIN follow.

TOPIC 2 of 2:

It was a really hard slog, this time, but I've completed my guide to the 
November 3rd ballot:
