**Project Name:** virtual-rendezvous **Wikitech Usernames of requestors:** @Ladsgroup @SuperHamster **Purpose:** "Wikimedia Virtual Rendezvous (WMVR) is the project to have a dedicated virtual meeting place for Wikimedians. **Brief description:** We (a group of volunteers) need a project in Wikimedia to install [[https://bigbluebutton.org/|BigBlueButton]] ([[https://bigbluebutton.org/open-source-license/|LGPL]], [[https://opensource.org/licenses|OSI-approved]]) and have virtual meetings in Wikimedia instead of Zoom/Google (commercial services with different privacy policies). The plan is to conduct the first AGM (Annual group meeting) of Wikimedia LGBT+ user group in this instance instead of the Zoom/Google because of the sensitivity of this topic in lots of countries. We planned to have this meeting in [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Queering_Wikipedia|Queering Wikipedia conference]] but it got postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. It would be great to have it as big as two bigram instances, but we might have to add more later if this project turned out to be super successful. The test node in digital ocean required quite amount of memory. If it's too successful, we can migrate this to production. Also keep in mind this probably will eat a lot of traffic (hopefully mostly UDP traffic though). **How soon you are hoping this can be fulfilled:** "As soon as possible" because of the pandemic and the lockdown.
