Jitsi is also integrated into Riot (the Matrix client). I was in a group trying it out a couple of weeks ago, and it worked really well. If there are two people in a room, it uses a direct connection, and if there are three or more it uses Jitsi (both inside the Riot interface, so there's no need to set up separate URLs or anything).

For a setting with a lot of presentations and questions Zoom should work

At last Sunday's London Meetup we discussed the situation and while not
wanting to seem over cautious (we were of course the dozen who'd decided

May meetings might need to go virtual.

Is there a recommended software solution for video/audio conferencing a
dozen to twenty people?

I took part in some not the wikipedia Weekly podcasts almost a decade
ago,
but i'm assuming the technology has progressed since then.

Hi,

I believe it likely is too early to make a decision. We have a
professional
team at the WMF monitoring the situation, but the date is still 5
months
in
the future.

It is reasonable to expect that we may need to make adjustments to the
situation as it develops and in 2-3 months it will be much clearer
where
we
stand.

For now, I think it is already fair to say that the WMF leadership is
not
shying away from difficult decisions (the summit cancellation, closing
down
the office, canceling international travel for staff) and clearly
prioritizes our safety.

I trust the judgment of our staff when they communicate clearly that
they
are considering all options and will.make a decision in due time.

Best,

Dj "pundit"

I too have cancelled all personal/work/wiki travel plans. The risks
are
far too great.

A single infection at the conference, depending on who/where, has the
potential to cause significant damage to the Movement.

I understand the sheer effort that has already been put, but I
strongly
hope the Foundation will postpone the conference or cancel this
year's
conference for the safety of the volunteers, and to prevent the risk
of
spreading it to more parts of the world.



Yours truly,

 From a personal perspective, I have cancelled all future travel plans
and
have requested that everyone I work with do the same. I am of course
in
healthcare. Please note that this is not official advise.
