That sounds great. We should try it out.

I believe Tim misunderstood me when I told him that I'm trying some 
platform out. (Jitsi Meet). I meant, I'm trying it out for personal use, 
but I likely won't be able to provide it for 20-30 people to meet virtually.

We should look at the various free software options available for this. 
Maybe the FSF has some experience hosting and running a virtual conference?
