even better: I can let you have this and just listen for the first part. It would be amazing to start with hearing you guys trying to make sense of it first, taking notes on my side on what to clarify…
BTW I plan to use this, since @jamesbradbury introduced me to this secure, encrypted, open-source platform
but maybe there is a limit to how many people can connect… otherwise there is skype and zoom and messenger I can use… but I hate them all 
There is no limit. The only thing that affects scalability is someone using Firefox in the call. Apparently this slows it down for everyone (something to do with Firefox not supporting thee p2p webrtc api (yet)). Ideally everyone uses some form of Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Chromium) browser.
I’m up for a pre-chat with PA spying 
PA, do you think you can record (for our private consumption) in case I can’t join. Think it starts at 7:30am my time and then I have a faculty meeting I have to jump into…
I’ll connect at 15:30 uk time and will try to record indeed but my bandwidth might freak out… I’ll let you know how it goes.
Don’t know if jitsi has something like this, but Zoom lets you record natively without having to setup a separate screencapture thing.
So the rest of us are meeting at 2:30pm UK time?
Should we use the hudhack jitsi room?
Are you going to meet for 1 full hour before? What I suggested is that we start at 15:30 and you guys start by talking for the first bit… it would probably help other timezones to join…
why not use the room I’ve created above?
Ah right. I mean, we can still do that, but my offer to “pre-game” still stands if anyone wants to start before the designated time to start geeking out earlier.
From the thing that gets embedded it just looked like a generic link to jitsi.
I know but it is a room. Why does the preview look like this, I don’t know… let’s make it cute here:
this is the room to talk in - it is called FluCoMaChatRoom
I have a beefy connection here on Lindley fibre and screen recording setup for top secret reacoma projects I don’t mind recording if you want?
Okay I shall record!
