+Date and place
+==============
+
+In the last blog post ([Replicant status and report of the 37C3 and
+FOSDEM 2024
+conferences](https://blog.replicant.us/2024/03/replicant-status-and-report-of-the-37c3-and-fosdem-2024-conferences/))
+we mentioned that one of the things to do in the short term would be
+to:
+
+> Setup a Replicant meeting online at a fixed time, on IRC/Big blue
+> button/Jitsi/Mumble. If new people come we would do a short
+> introduction and people would present themselves (especially what they
+> are interested in).
+
+So this meeting will take place the 18 June 2024 at 19:00 CEST
+([Central European Summer
+Time]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Summer_Time).
+
+You can run this command in a terminal to see at what time the meeting
+starts in your time zone:
+
+> date --date='TZ="Europe/Paris" 19:00 Jun 18'
+
+It will take place on mumble on the
+[mumble.replicant.us](https://mumble.replicant.us) self hosted Mumble
+server. If for some reasons there are technical issues a backup mumble
+server will be used instead.
+
+Mumble servers require a client: Mumble on GNU/Linux or
+[Plumble](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.morlunk.mumbleclient/)
+or [Mumla](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/se.lublin.mumla/) on
+Android.
+
+And at least on GNU/Linux it requires a bit of time (about 10 minutes)
+for the first setup as on the first run it guides users toward
+configuring things to improve the audio quality.
+
+So if you could try to configure and test it first, it will means that
+we'd have less people to help with configuration at the time of the
+meeting.
+
+We will be available a bit before 19:00 both on mumble.replicant.us
+and on the #replicant IRC channels to help people having issues with
+their setups.
+
+Topics
+======
+
+At the time of writing, the current plan for the meeting is to discuss
+the following:
+

+- Discussions / work about the call for the ("community") Manager.

+change between now and the meeting, so make sure to re-check this blog
+post before the meeting.
