SF-LUG March 2025 Meeting notice - 2025-03-02
-------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco Linux Users' Group's next meeting is the following Sunday
from today, March 2nd 2025, from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM PST.

Quoting the still current SF-LUG webpage www.sf-lug.org
(current as of this writing) :

Chromium, Chrome, or possibly Firefox - in any case one that well
supports WebRTC.

PIN: 524 338 639#

OTOH, directly quoting Rick Moen <rick at linuxmafia.com> from
his June 2024 posting

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's a bit ludicrous.  It's 2024.  You'd have to search really _hard_
to find a sufficiently ancient graphical Web browser that doesn't work
with Jitsi Meet.  Probably MSIE.

Just say "Web browser", for heaven's sake.  Alternatively, there are
bespoke Jitsi Meet clients for desktop and smartphone OSes.

And yes, Jitsi Project does have a painfully exact "supported browsers"
list.

Even there, context matters:  These are versions _guaranteed_ to have
not a trace of problems, i.e., specifically tested and vetted.  That
doesn't mean, say, Firefox 67, a 2019 piece of software, wouldn't work.
It would.  Practically anything from the last 20 years would.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If any of you reading this wish to start meeting in-person again
(and are physically able to do so) at SF's Cafe Enchante, please feel
free to respond on this mailing-list and inform others similarly
interested before next Sunday's meeting :-)
