Erk, I'll bottom post this time. I've been doing too many non list replies
recently where bottom posting confuses people for some reason.

I didn't spot this email before, wow, is it that long ago! I think they must
have sorted the Firefox issues as I was using it and I wasn't aware of any
particular issues. We were on for a good few hours in the end. A couple had
issues getting webcams working, one of which was Brave not having access from
within the Snap, but nothing down to me - I don't think!

Feel free to join us given travel isn't an issue :-)

Hi all,

Greetings from Edinburgh! I moved away a couple of years ago, but stayed on the 
list in case I happen to be down near there at the right time for a PLUG 
meeting. Sadly, that hasn't happened yet.

We had an EdLUG meeting on Jitsi recently, and it worked pretty well for most 
people, with a couple of caveats:

- We asked everyone to use Chromium/Chrome, because apparently one person on 
Firefox can cause issues for everyone. People are working on this, so hopefully 
it won't be necessary next time: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4758
- A couple of people couldn't hear any sound until they allowed it to access a 
microphone.

Some people tested out Apache OpenMeetings as an alternative - I missed the 
test, but apparently there were more issues even with fewer people trying to 
connect.

Best wishes,
Thomas

[Hampshire] Portsmouth and South East Hants LUG - SURPRISE NO APRIL MEETING!

2020-04-15 Thread Paul Tansom via Hampshire
I can't imagine anyone is expecting an April meeting, and days are merging into
each other at the moment, but I will just send out a confirmation that there
will be no meeting.

I am looking into options for a virtual meeting though, so will update if/when
I have something. If anyone has any preferences of timings or platforms they
really don't want to use let me know. At the moment Jitsi in what I am looking
at.

Watch the mailing list and/or website for updates on the status of the May
meeting.

Keep safe.

Thanks,
Paul
