[BLU/Officers] BLU Jitsi meeting on Friday, March 27 at 7:00 PM?

[John Abreau]

Yes, we're doing this.

Jitsi runs within a web browser, preferably Chrome or Chromium. When I use
Firefox to connect, it warns that Chrome and Chromium are the supported
browsers.

To connect directly to the virtual room named "blu.org", just visit the url

    https://meet.jit.si/blu.org

We begin at 7:00 pm.So far it's you, me, Jerry, and Kurt. I was hoping that
Bill and Federico would also join us, but if they can't make it Friday, we
can do another meeting next week.
