That was nice seeing and talking with the group, last evening.
The conversation at one point, sort of dwelled on what was happening in Peterborough and I think Glen and Hugh may have been a bit bored with the conversation. We maybe can try to avoid that happening for the next video chat. :-)
I tried bringing them in a few times but yeah, sometimes it's hard to do that depending on the subject.
I enjoyed it, too. But the zoom limit is really annoying. Maybe we should pass around the hat and get the pro version. It's $20/month and if I understand it correctly, the host with the pro account isn't limited in how long the meetings go. I don't think everyone has to get the $20/month account for it to work. But we are limited to a 24 hour long meeting in case we want to do a telethon. ;-)
I think Glen is the only one who had trouble with the Jitsi video chat. He couldn't get his video to show. I think we should be able to find him a used usb webcam, that he could plug into his computer and that should fix his problem. I could take a motorcycle ride to his house in Oshawa and drop one off for him. :-)
We can pass the hat and get him a new one. :)
In keeping with our prejudices, open source is probably best. Or should I say our idealism. Jitsi forever.
