[MCTG] Jitsi - Opensource Video Conference and Streaming

[Ian Zimmerman]

Hi. This is really interesting because, like you, I am very disturbed
by so many people jumping on the zoom train without caring about its
potential privacy problems.  I would like to at least look at jitsi.

But, forgive me, your email reads a lot like an advertisement.  Do
you have a relationship with the jitsi project?  I think it would be
very helpful to clarify that, either way.  Thanks.

Ian
