<div>I'd like to try another Jitsi test, this time with more
than a day's notice. Jerry and I were the only ones who could
make it this evening. <br>

<div>Who's available for Friday, March 27, 2020 at 7:00 pm? <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If Friday is no good, I'm busy on Monday and Tuesday, so
the next available evening for the test would be Wednesday,
April 1. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We'd particularly like Federico to participate, so he can
do a brief dry run of the talk he had planned for April 15. If
we can get the logistics worked out in time, I'd like to hold
Federico's talk as originally planned on April 15. There's an
option to livestream the meeting to youtube directly from
within jitsi, which means we should be able to continue our
monthly meetings even without a physical meeting space. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I figure 5 minutes of powerpoint should be enough to get a
feel for the logistics of doing a presentation.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jerry and I tested jitsi together for a few minutes, and it
worked well. We were able to see and hear each other
reasonably well, with a small amount of noise. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There was an option to blur one's background, which I
tried, and it worked well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We tested sharing a powerpoint presentation in libreoffice,
and that worked fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We tested recording the meeting to dropbox, and that also
went well. <br>
