Tracker online meetings: start this Saturday

Which is more problematic, Zoom or Chrome ? :thinking:

I’m happy to use jit.si if it works though, have you had a good experience with one of those instances in the past?

My point is let’s not use Zoom nor Chrome :smile:! But I would be lying if I said that the current status of Jitsi + Firefox was optimal.

That being said, I have never added any issue with Firefox + the Jitsi instance from framatalk (between 2 and 5 participants during my calls). According to the bug reports, things get messy when there are a lot of participants to a call.

I could also set up a BBB room at https://meeten.statt-drosseln.de/ - It is very privacy friendly and BBB seems to work fine with Firefox. We can also just try one of each on subsequent meetings and see which one floats our boat the best :slight_smile:

If you want, GNOME has a Bluejeans account you can use. It’s not free software, but does work with Firefox and has phone dial in numbers.

(As an aside, we’re also looking at BigBlueButton as one of the options for GUADEC :P)

Thanks for all that, so it seems like we have some free software options :slight_smile:

@jensgeorg - I tried the demo room at https://meeten.statt-drosseln.de/ and it seems to work nicely; so if you can set us up a room there - perfect!

have you tried https://elos.vc/home? it’s based on bigbluebutton and is open source, and the basic free account will let you use 15 people.

Woot… cool. I’m going to try to make it!

Can we start recording meetings? I feel like this is a great way to point people at things they might have missed.

I have an account on elos.vc, if I am able to make it happy to let people use that - https://elos.vc/sriram-ramkrishna

Excellent! See you there :slight_smile:

I wrote notes of the last meeting at https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Meetings/20200418.

How does everyone feel about recording the meetings as videos? I’m not sure I want everything I say to be preserved for eternity… andiIf someone does want to catch up, it also seems like it’d be more work watching hours of rambling meeting videos, than reading the edited notes in the wiki.

I’ll probably will have to skip it

Seems we can’t start the existing meeting without @jensgeorg so I’ve created a new one on the same server: https://meeten.statt-drosseln.de/b/sam-nae-jep

it should work exactly the same, just with a different URL.

Meeting done, minutes here! https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Meetings/20200502 :slight_smile: Next one in 2 weeks.

The next meeting will be tomorrow, same time of 15.00 UTC.
The agenda is here, and you can add things to it! https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Meetings/20200516

FYI: The BBB host had some issues with screen sharing and video yesterday, but the audio call itself went fine.
