It would be hard to help multiple people simultaneously in one Jitsi
meeting ...

although if several are doing installs with only periodic "does this look
right? what do i select here?" questions, multiple is not out of the
question. If two hit questions near-simultaneously, one may need to listen
and wait ... but each can benefit from the others' Q&A more than in the
basement.

Maybe a sign up where 1 person would sign up and 1 or 2 volunteers would

possible , and OR can be read as INCLUSIVE AND/OR

Indeed. Being able to have dynamic as well as regular office hours would be
good.

I did something rather like Office Hours with Brian a week ago ... used the
camera on a tablet aimed at the radio I was training him on in addition to
an in-browser instance to share a manual page. I might bring my dashboard
tablet stalk in from the car to do that again with a little more stability!
Sort of like when Federico uses the web-camera as an Opaque Projector on a
hardware talk. For Software config, sharing the screen is sufficient, but
during install and book, that's not available, so having the helpee use a
phone/tablet  *forward* camera to show the screen will be useful.  I think
that requires the JITSI app? Or does JITSI work in a mobile browser too?


   - Having a predictable URL for Office Hours with a predictable schedule
   would be good.
   ? Is it possible to have a single JITSI meeting URL that any one of the
   several Officers can fire up ?
   - We could in addition to regular hours fire it up off schedule if via
   email or IRC etc we find time to help someone in between.
   - see above re using phone/tablet to share boot/install screens
