>> Is it still the plan to hold a meeting Sunday? The last meeting was  
>> generously hosted by Glen Jarvis using Zoom. At that meeting Jitsi  
>> was discussed.
>> See below the recent announcement made by the Free Software  
>> Foundation. I'd be surprised if there aren't some Associate Members  
>> among the LUG membership.
>> I am one and would be happy to try setting it up but think there'd  
>> be a higher chance of success if it were done by someone with more  
>> tech savvy.

>> FSF gives freedom-respecting videoconferencing to all associate members
>>
>> From May 28th
>>
>> The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is now offering all FSF  
>> associate members free "as in freedom" videoconferencing via an  
>> exclusive FSF Jitsi Meet instance as an additional [associate  
>> member benefit](https://www.fsf.org/associate/benefits). In order  
>> to be able to provide a sustainable and reliable service, we are  
>> offering the ability to create conversations on the server  
>> exclusively to [associate members](https://my.fsf.org/join).  
>> Members can create a channel using their member credentials, but  
>> then any person or group can participate in the conversation.  
>> Nonmembers can be invited, but cannot start a channel.
