Hi all,
Since t'is the season for everyone to stay indoors and
keep away from the rest of the population, would it be
feasible to have "online" meetings instead of
face-to-face? I use Zoom with my clients a lot, but I
appreciate that it isn't really in the spirit of the GLUG
to be using such non-Free Software. I've had a bit of a
play with Jitsi-Meet, which shows promise, but I feel it's
"not quite there" yet.
Does anyone else have any recommendations or
suggestions for cross platform video chat tools that
actually work well?

Good idea, was thinking about this for the meeting on
28th. I have just adopted Zoom at the instruction of my
employer (desperate times - all Uni gone online at no
notice) so perhaps we could use that on 28th, and put free
software video chat toward the top of chat topics?
Andy, do you know if your account (presumably provided by
the Uni) is
a Pro/Business/Enterprise account? Zoom Free limits
multi-participant
meetings to 40mins (unlimited time for 1-to-1 meetings).
If you are on the Pro/Business/Enterprise plan, do you
reckon you'd be
able to host the meeting, or do you think your employer
might be irked
by that?
Grant. :)
