[NTLUG:Discuss] NTLUG Zoom meeting Saturday, January 16, 9 am - 12 noon

[Cornelius Keck]

Somebody presented Jitsi at DallasRPI not too long ago. Gets interesting
when you rig your own server. Appears to be all Java, so your server needs
some oompf to drive that stuff.

Zoom happened because it was easily available, had brand recognition when
it mattered most, like back in March. Few folks knew Jitsi. Just like VHS,
it's not necessarily the best system, but it offered decent tradeoffs at
the time.

Jitsi would be an option if

- there is a no-brain, little-to-zero issue installer,

- there's an outfit backing this stuff, so that one can host larger
meetings without having scaling issues with home-brew software,

- there's an easy way to set up at home, for smaller talks.

Last item is pretty much taken care of, anybody feel like looking into the
others?
