276669 Brian Ward <bri@a...> 2022‑12‑03 weekly meeting: more options needed
Hi all, in working through the confusion of last week's zoom meeting, we decided
to try out a Google Meet event on my account. Unfortunately, I've discovered one
hiccup with Google Meet: It's impossible to automatically admit users outside of
your organization; you need a host to be present, and I can't reliably say that
I'd be present.

So we should probably use the old meeting until we figure out something new.

As far as options go, here are some:
- Zoom free edition. You're limited to 40 minutes at a time, but I think you can
just pop back on after that. We've played around with this idea in the past.
- Discord. It's a little different than what we're used to, and it's channel-
invitation based, but it would actually give us a place to hang out at any time.
Might be interesting; I've heard of it being used in other similar sort of niche
communities with a fair amount of success.
- Any other number of paid or free services.
