Video conferencing platform choice

Video conferencing platform choice

[Miguel Ojeda]

Hi all,

Geert Stappers has suggested to use v1d30 instead of Google Meet for
the conferencing service (and he has kindly offered to foot the bill
too -- at least the initial one).

I will ask in the upcoming meeting about this, but for those that
cannot attend and/or may not want to join through the current service,
please let me know before Saturday if you have a preference between
those two (publicly or privately, but please Cc Geert).

Cheers,
Miguel

Hi,

What is v1d30?  Googling it does not bring up anything relevant-looking.

Thanks.

Good question -- I have not used it. Geert, could you please give us
some details? Thank you!

Cheers,
Miguel

The server side software is Big Blue Button.
Documentation at https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/

People of v1d30, video vowels became numbers,
have video conferencing service as business model.
Their website is https://v1d30.net/

It is the user expirence I appreciate:
* Visit website
* Enter "Handle" or "Nick name"
* Continue    (no need for password or other account hassle)
* Check of your microfoon  (without bothering people in the "room")
* Entering the room
* Choice on using camera (no package deal with choosing micro phone)

Both "account" and "google account".

Account is pub versus club. Just going the pub, not first becoming
member before being allowed to enter the club.

Google account is "be one of billions". It makes me feel lost.

I'm happy to test it from my site of the Internet. My test setup
is from outside Google employee network, webbrowser without Google
account cookie.

My main reason for testing is to reproduce the account login
that I got at the previous Rust for Linux meeting at Google Meet.

I'm in UTC+2 and awake till 20:30 UTC for "login" test.

I'm running a test session for the next 20min or so. If anyone else would like
to test, ping me and I'll share the address privately.

No objections either way. Looks like v1d30 uses Big Blue Button, which I
like; it works quite well. I'm happy with anything that's web-based and
doesn't require a proprietary client.
