I would certainly recommend organizing in IRC, but for more interaction,
Jitsi is worth a shot.

Zoom does work very well on Gnu/Linux, but yes - proprietary, so,
personally not interested in using them more than I already am coerced to :P

Jitsi usually handles rooms with up to about a dozen people pretty well,
but often struggles beyond that. Most issues are resolved with a simple
reload of the page.

Try it out @ either of these instances, no registration require:

https://meet.jit.si/ (typically pretty bleeding-edge, so sometimes less
stable)

or:

https://meet.mayfirst.org/ (pretty up to date, but generally more stable
of late)

Tim, you may be able to recover your ident info with the following, once
you've connected with #Freenode. If the name is registered with
NickServ, it'll email you at the registered address:

/msg NickServ SENDPASS turbox
