Would people be interested in some Zoom SageDays on the occasion of the upcoming 9.1 release?

we can use https://meet.jit.si/ - it's similar to zoom in what it does,
sans spying closed source stuff...

This one so far does not seem to have a date, nor a program?

Let me expand a little bit on what I would like to see:

Video tutorials aimed at new Sage users
Video tutorials on particular Sage components
Video presentations on new features in 9.1
Video breakout sessions for developers

Given that in-person meetings --- which have been very important for energizing Sage development in the past --- do not seem feasible for some time, the video conferencing component seems crucial.  

All video presentations would be given live and recorded for later use.

I appreciate the discussion regarding suitable technical platforms for this that has already started. But I would suggest to discuss the format, contents, and timeline first.

Feel free to use 109 for any purpose. It was just a placeholder
to organize something in May related to spring code cleaning.

The University of Bordeaux can host the Sage days on its
BigBlueButton server (I can set everything up anytime). I would
also prefer this alternative.

For timeline, let us agree on a week at

https://framadate.org/sKsHclwI9cwW5UTp

For the technology I think zulip + video-conference is confortable
enough.

For the format / content, it mostly depends on who has time to make
presentations (making a good-looking video is non-trivial). If
newcomers show up I am happy to make some presentations but do not
agree to be recorded.

Based on the (few!) responses, the week of May 25 seems best.

Perhaps a 1-day event is enough?
