Trying meet.jit.si for FRR weekly meeting next week
Hi all, I've spent a little time looking at fully open-source videoconferencing services and it turns out jit.si is the most (actually: only) usable one. I'd like to try moving next week's meeting from BlueJeans to meet.jit.si (which is the free service they provide by just running their open source package somewhere.) The URL for the meeting will be: https://meet.jit.si/frr-weekly No registration or anything is required. There are Android and iOS apps, so if you use one of these devices please download the app. Other than that, maybe just try loading the URL above and see if it works :) The primary rationale for the change is that jit.si is fully open source which IMHO merits at least a try to see how FOSS is doing in the videoconferencing field. If we run into problems, we can just fall back to BlueJeans as usual. Cheers, David P.S.: the one major downside is that with the meet.jit.si service, we won't have a moderator for the room. Please make sure you're not sending noise into the conference and always mute your microphone when not speaking.

All - As a followup, we tried the meet.jit.si servie. Pro: Audio/video quality was noticably better. Cons: 1) High bandwidth usage. 2) Some people continuously left/re-entered the meeting. 3) There was some lag of input that needs to be addressed. Given the remoteness of some attendees, it was felt that this was not a good solution as of yet to replace bluejeans. At this point in time we will switch back to the regularly scheduled meeting place. donald On Tue, Sep 25, 2018 at 10:47 AM David Lamparter <equinox@diac24.net> wrote:
