Come join us! The foundation of some really amazing products. First and foremost, Jitsi is a community of developers that are pushing the envelope of video conferencing quality on the web. Today, Jitsi is: A vibrant developer community. Over the course of a decade, though, it’s become so much more. Jitsi started life as a way to talk to people over the internet using audio and video. At the heart of Jitsi are Jitsi Videobridge and Jitsi Meet, which let you have conferences on the internet, while other projects in the community enable other features such as audio, dial-in, recording, and simulcasting. Here’s a quote from Jitsi’s website: Jitsi is a set of open-source projects that allows you to easily build and deploy secure videoconferencing solutions.
JITSI DIAL IN SOFTWARE
Riot uses Jitsi as part of it’s own audio and video capabilities, which illustrates how with open source software you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. If you’d like to join us and contribute to the testing, let me know. We had an issue on Matrix and Riot in December, and I’m happy to say we know have a server running and are slowly but surely starting to use it.

You are a co-sponsor of a bill that everyone, including you, knows is a Trojan horse for banning end-to-end encryption. While this could easily turn into a part two follow up from yesterday’s issue on the shady companies trying to profit from the current race to gather more health data, allow me one last note on this subject to point out the politicians trying to benefit in a similarly hypocritical manner: YIKES!!! Ex-NSA hacker drops new zero-day doom for Zoom | TechCrunch - Scott Adams April 1, 2020 Turns out while Zoom may be easy for people to use, it is neither that private, nor secure. As mentioned in yesterday’s issue, Zoom’s soaring popularity has drawn increased scrutiny, and the company does not look good. Zoom, the popular video conferencing service, has become part of the zeitgeist, symbolic of where and how we’re living at the moment. We’re constantly tempted by convenience, and what is easy, when ideally it’s better if we invest a bit of learning, and do what is smart. Technology often creates tension between the fastest solution and the best solution. Another open source video collaboration tool and alternative to Zoom
