Sometimes I feel like banging my head against a wall. Trying to suggest alternatives to spyware and proprietary systems, people don't get it .

I appreciate these are different ways, but they are all commercial, closed source and zoom just routes via china and is not even offering basic encryption for free users.

It does take a toll on us sometimes. But we are doing the Good Work, so take a minute and recharge. Your contribution is appreciated, Paul.

There's a lot of interests, commercial, government, political, etc behind many things. Speaking up and bringing your views has an impact.

I have access to BigBlueButton So we could use that here if we wanted video chat.

It is free to sign up to, so approving signups isn't an issue either, Maybe handy if we wanted to do some sort of video presentation or teaching, as you can upload pdf presentations and also have access to a whiteboard.

Btw, that would be cool to try it out.

You can sign up at faircam.net/ (free) have an experiment and make sure the sound etc works ok, (may need to play with sound settings etc)

Or once everyone is signed up then we can arrange a time when we can try it out.
