MUUG Online Meeting, May 12, 7:30pm -- Setting up a Jitsi Server
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 12th, at 7:30pm: Setting up a Jitsi Server In light of the current concerns over COVID-19 and the risk of infection, and current directives from the University of Winnipeg, the MUUG board has decided to try our first online meeting at 7:30pm! Troy Denton will demonstrate how you can build and deploy Jitsi, a secure video conferencing solution. An added twist -- this exhibition potentially may be hosted on Jitsi... to demonstrate Jitsi! Stay tuned to muug.ca for the official URL, or watch for an e-mail update, if you're on our mailing list. The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.

Wow, that will be amazing. A few weeks ago I set up an instance so I could talk to my family. They were afraid of Zoom and having all kinds of issues with Google/WhatsApp. It worked surprisingly well. Video/audio quality was superb, and it was easy for them to join. I look forward to Troy's insight! Kind regards, Alberto Abrao 204-202-1778 204-558-6886 www.abrao.net On 2020-05-05 10:37 a.m., Gilbert E. Detillieux wrote:

Having spent hours trying to find alternatives to zoom, thanks Alberto for raising the profile on this one! May thanks to all at Muug who have and will put this together With much caution the first and only time I tried to participate by zoom I never managed to get on and true to public information the uninstall was neither thorough nor complete. The fact that Jits is an open source platform on the subject of privacy and surveillance already speaks reams and the following are but a few highlights beginning with one accounted for negative in that it will be using a g00gle API with again that qualifier of "plans to": "<b>Jitsi plans</b> to use an API called called "Insertable Streams" that Google recently launched in conjunction with other features that it's building in-house. The API scrambles up video and audio in streaming, so that no third party – including the service provider – will be able to understand it and spy on people in the meeting. " Open source platform Jitsi plans to start offering a major security feature that Zoom, Microsoft, and Google lack: End-to-end encryption for video conferencing. <b>Here's how it plans to take on its rivals (EH note: not there yet but aiming to!)</b> https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/open-source-platform-jitsi-plans-to-st...
