Idea: anybody interested in a regular video chat? I was thinking of
one that progresses(*) through three different timezones (Asia/Aus/NZ,
then the Americas, then Europe/Africa) so that everybody should be
able to get to two of the three timezones.
(* like a progressive dinner)
30-60 minutes each one, general old computing. Perhaps a guest speaker
now and then with a short presentation. Perhaps a theme now and then.
Perhaps just chew the fat, shoot the breeze as well.
Platform: Zoom or I'd be happy to set up a private Jitsi instance.
Something else?
How often: perhaps weekly or fortnightly through the three timezones,
so it would cycle back every three or six weeks.
Comments, suggestions?!
Cheers, Warren

Possibly - signal works really well and has few if any issues
security/privacy/ownership issues.

I think it's a WONDERFUL idea!!
I don't mind what multimedia and video converencing technology we use.
(Obviously it must meet fundmental technical requirements.)
The point that Clem makes about "security/privacy/ownership issues" is
important. Now could be a good time for one to open the discussion
about their expectations.
