@Avi Dessauer Not sure what is zulip Jitsi, but there is a convenient Jitsi android app in f-droid. It should also run natively in modern web brower too.
@Avi Dessauer Jitsi is open source and browser based. Check out jitsi.org for more info https://meet.jit.si/ is a free hosted instance of jitsi. I've tried it a few times so far and it works really well, including in sessions with 20+ users.
Compared to Hangouts, I think the benefits of jitsi are:
open source
more privacy
easy to join meetings (no need for a Google account)
Free open-source video conferencing for web & mobile. Make a call, launch on your own servers in minutes, integrate into your app, or develop something new
I've created #VideoChat to manage future calls - if people agree, we can use it to manage all sorts of calls, not only those that are #Haskell specific

What do you people think? We actually have support for creating quick Jitsi conferences there
Dope
I'm in.
Maybe have a rolling TZ for them? A leader per TZ?
I'd be interested too :-)
Also interested
Cool! We could maybe find some time that works for both America and Europe (is someone here in Asia?)
Would 4PM UTC work? that's 6PM CEST and 11AM CDT (timezones are fun ... :big_smile:)
And e.g. Friday or Saturday
I'm in EST and that's usually lunch time in our house. I might be able to pop in some time between 4-5pm UTC
Hmm, so 5PM UTC would be better?
@TheMatten So would the chat be hosted via zulip Jitsi? I have never used Jitsi does that compare to hangouts?

Count me in! I prefer Jitsi over Hangouts.

I'm down!
@Avi Dessauer Yeah - it's the simplest conference app I've ever used - you just join conference, that's all
We've tested it with few guys there before and it works fine
Does Saturday work for people?
Yes

I do not if it's better to open a new topic for this. so I'll just leave it here and if it has a lot of attention I'll branch it out :slight_smile:
Are we chatting tomorrow?
We are! :slight_smile:
