Neither will I. I think I approve of Jitsi,
but I need all the computers to keep working.
I am afraid to try something new, for fear
of breaking something.
I have never used the camera on this laptop.
I did no preparation nor downloaded anything,
but for the L of it I put the URL into the
browser, https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA.
It displays a grey rectangle.
Tell the mailing list how it worked.

Hi All,
Not going to make it to tonight's conference.
Hope you are all well,
Joel

Hey Gang,
We've got a virtual meeting today!
We're all going to meet on Jitsi! Here's the location:
https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
The big blue button stuff looks really awesome, but I haven't had a chance
to dig into it, however for presenting it looks pretty awesome.
I hope everybody is staying sane and staying safe.
Later,
Tim Keller

Hey Pete -
I would be interested in the 580 and the R415s.
I can come by tomorrow when convenient. Let me know if that works for you.

Hi! When is the meeting?
BTW, I have *piles* of (mostly Dell) hardware for sale (donation? either is overly complicated..). Everything from an old
Dimension E530 desktop to a Poweredge R515 with 12TB of internal disk (both already running CentOS 6.10). A whole roomfull of
Optiplex 740s and 580s, an R300, two R415s, etc. In a few weeks I'll also have a couple of Synology RS2416+ units with
expansion chassis. I can forward a complete list if anyone is interested. Most of the equipment is in Worcester, where I work.
Stay safe!

I've recently learned about BigBlueButton, which is designed around
teaching with features like slideshow integration and session
recordings (currently disabled due to increased demand though). I think
this could work well for us seeing as we tend to do presentations
hosted our own computers anyway. This demo looks quite promising:

are listed here as well:

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

A buddy of mine runs one. I'll pick his brains regarding what it needs for
bandwidth and horsepower.
I suspect I've got sufficient quantities of that at my house.
If not, I'll think about spinning up a droplet.
