I'm proposing, if there are no serious objections,
2025-08-09 4pm 'til whenever, that
https://meet.jit.si/CABAL
be "borrowed"/commandeered for:
virtual ONLY Debian release party[1]!

Notably, Debian 13 Trixie will be released as Debian's newest major
version stable release on 2025-08-09[2], and some release parties are
customary[3] for the day[4] (or thereabout) when Debian has a major
release.  (Coincidentally, last major release date was 2023-06-10 - and
it was a CABAL meeting day - I was there and brought cookies and some
appropriately colored frosting for cookies and do-it-yourself Debian
logo swirls.)

Also, since CABAL will NOT be meeting on 2025-08-09[5][6][7],
https://meet.jit.si/CABAL would not otherwise be in use that date, and
for any folks that missed the bit about this month's change in date for
the CABAL meeting, or really can't wait the extra two weeks for a Linux
meeting, could at least find on 2025-08-09 and CABAL's otherwise regular
meeting date and time, at least a virtual Linux meeting, and probably at
least some folk(s) there that would know about CABAL's meeting having been
rescheduled this month.

Rick: If feasible, you may want to update:
http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/
Notably to indicate no actual CABAL meeting on 2025-08-09.
