This seems like a game of semantics. In your earlier message (quoted above) you said, "we will make our meeting this week as an online video meeting," and you've scheduled it for the exact same time as your normal IRC meeting. I'm not sure how anyone can come to a different conclusion than that you're (at least experimenting with) replacing your weekly IRC meetings with teleconferencing. > > Also, while Zoom's service and client software may be "free" in the > > gratis sense, they are not free in the libre sense.

I get that different people place different priorities on this: for some free software is nice to have as long as it doesn't get in their way, while for others it's a mandate even if it means not getting to use some shiny new feature. The decision doesn't directly impact me as I only ever at most lurk in the Heat meeting in case anyone requests my input and maybe occasionally read the minutes/log, but as an example set by a long-standing team within the community it's certainly disappointing. -- Jeremy Stanley
