That's the rub. There are lots of different tools out there but without a poll
we won't know who can run what.
The discussion about Zoom recently shows how iffy it is to get it going. I've
used Skype on Linux to keep in touch with family for years, but some people
are reluctant to use it because of the fact that it isn't Open Source (neither
is Zoom).
I remember using one Open Source tool years ago, but since none of my family
wanted to use it I neglected to re-install it when I last did a complete
distro installation. I can't even remember the name; I thought it began with
'T', but I can't see anything in the (K)Ubuntu repository under Communications
that begins with T.
TBH, I'm not too bothered about an online Meeting, It's never the same as
face-to-face and I don't have any beer ;-( If something is set up, I'll come
along to make up the numbers, but the main reason I like the monthly meetings
is the environment and the chat content.
