Dear all,What's wrong with just using https://meet.jit.si ? It's the Jitsi project free server available to anyone without a prior reservation or appointment. Thank you to Karen Sandler for her offer of the Conservancy'sI don't quite agree with this statement, but then I'm biased: Linux Plumbers Conference evaluated both Jitsi and BBB (and a few others) and determined that BBB was the most appropriate to the interactive nature of the conference, which we pulled off successfully in 2020. The main problem with BBB is it's more difficult to set up than Jitsi and is more demanding about precision of the dependencies ... but that's not a problem if someone else is hosting it for you. All of them suffer client side scaling issues because of webRTC (this is unavoidable with any end to end encrypted solution because the client to client streams are 1:1) so the main way we mitigated that was to request people mute video unless they want to speak ... it actually works better for interaction than raising your hand.
