[Novalug] April Meeting

Hi, Rich.

There was some discussion about this issue. Absent a good solution, and given 
the nature of the content - no trade secrets is presumed - it was considered 
the best solution under the circumstances.

Personally, I've looked at other solutions, e.g.,  Nextcloud Talk, but a 
substantial backend is required to handle the video when many people are 
connected with video.

Do you have a solution, given that NoVaLUG is a volunteer / dues-free 
organization?
