Re: OpenChain Zoom room tested - complete success

But you want to be careful with Jitsi also... WebRTC leaks things like device IP address... even when you are behind a VPN. This means that if you are in a country where the government isn't as nice as you want... and you are trying to communicate with your
peers on a subject that is not fully aligned with state dogma you can get in trouble... Zoom will not do the same.
Because Zoom is fast taking over Cisco's Webex, we see all kind of FUD spread against Zoom (Zoom went from 10M to 200M users in 3 months - that's got to
tickle Cisco)... But if you search for Webex security issues on Google, you'll find just as many...
I don't want to bash on Jitsi. I use it. And it's open source. But if we're going to make a choice, let's make sure its for the right reasons. Zooms scales
massively, has a stellar set of features, and costs that are extremely accessible... has native clients on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and IOS, as well as a web client for machines were one can't install apps. It's user friendly. Session recordings are
automatically in MP4 which is very convenient. And A/V quality is really good.

LibrePlanet used jitsi this year when they had to go 100% virtual in the space of about a week I presented using it and seemed to work pretty well Might be worth a try; it’s definitely free as in beer and speech as FSF is very particular about that for their events (I had to use a Linux system for my preso as they don’t allow A***e or W*****s systems to run persos at their events > On Apr 3, 2020, at 10:06 AM, Alan Tse <Alan.Tse@...> wrote: > > Shane and others, > Thanks for all your hard work on setting up Zoom.
