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

[Bill Ricker]

I didn't like the audio / video in FF so i switched to Chrome, it seemed
better.

Bill, could you look into whether there are any security concerns with 8x8?

8x8 sells their commercial (freemium premium) version of Jitsi on being
more secure that other services in addition to more features than free
jitsi (which is compatible with web standards, win).
Their privacy policy
<https://www.8x8.com/terms-and-conditions/privacy-policy> is much less
creepy than Zoom's. They list a lot of valid reasons to use data (incl "if
we sell the co. the buyer gets everything") but i didn't see 3rd party
snoopery. It seems ruled out.

(Of course if we (for some value of "we") hosted a Jitsi instance, that
would have control over things.)
