Re: [PLUG] An alternative to Zoom: Sangoma Meet

[Fred Stluka via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Keith,

I just looked into it briefly as I'm writing some tips for my mailing
lists about Zoom, Jitsi Meet, etc.   I too am encouraging Zoom
users to switch to Jitsi Meet.  I'll try to remember to post a copy
here for those of you who don't subscribe to my lists directly.

Seems like Sangoma Meet is a server running Jitsi Meet.  Just like
Git is hosted at GitLab, BitBucket, GitHub, etc.  Jitsi Meet is
hosted at http://meet.jit.si, http://meet.sangoma.com, and a
few others.

At:
- https://wiki.sangoma.com/display/MEET/Meet+FAQ
it says:

"Our software stack is built upon several open source tools,
including Jitsi Meet, FreeSWITCH, HAProxy, Prometheus,
Grafana, collectd, and other tools used for provisioning,
deploying and managing the service.
