Nice meeting today.

Yeah, basically Tom L, Michael P, Chris P, myself and then Rick M a bit later on.
One significant part of the Jitsi meetup was helping to resolve Chris's HP printer driver issue (Chris, Rick, Michael and others, pls feel free to jump in about that.)


 
Another reason to use Jitsi vs Zoom:

There is also the worrisome and recent wsj.com article 'Tech Firms Are Spying on You. In a Pandemic, Governments Say That’s OK.'

IMHO, it's amazing what's happening behind the scenes supposedly for the sole purpose(s) of preventing the spread of COVID-19



# Go the above URL in any modern web browser.  Jitsi Meet uses webrtc so
# you may see the best results from Chrome based browsers.  

# There is a desktop client.  
# Find it on the Jitsi GitHub here: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron
# Download the appimage and chmod +x or in the gui right click - select properties 
# - allow executing as a program


Am still lackadaisically troubleshooting Why the WebRTC-compliance test run on Firefox (https://test.webrtc.org/ ) successfully shows my microphone as operational in both Slackware64 14.2 and Debian-amd64 Stable/buster, but fails to recognize the same microphone in Devuan Beowulf 3.0; all on the same machine.
