Additionally, the meeting software needs to work well for everyone, pretty much anywhere in the world. The coreboot community is an amazingly diverse group.

However, as I said in my last email, I'm not interested in changing again right now. We just went through an extensive evaluation process roughly 5 months ago, and we picked bluejeans. If someone wants to help us evaluate tools again in November, that would be the time. Until then, let's stick with bluejeans for the community meeting. Let's stop second guessing our decisions every few months.
