[LAC-19] We have a go!

Wed Aug 29 11:04:38 PDT 2018

Hello dear all. It's such a pleasure to be part of this, meeting some of 
you again and looking forward meeting other folks.

May I add my two cents regarding this or other upcoming meetings (or 
maybe is useful for some of you) in the shape of an alternative platform 
for meetings/videoconferences that doesn't require installation, just a 
browser:

     talky.io [1]

(WebRTC based, secure, you can share-screen, and it is (was maybe?) 
mostly open source, and they released part of their platform [2]).

I've been using it for years and it's quite good, and we even used it 
for a joint live concert played in two remote places (maybe less quality 
sometimes as it is not based on a P2P architecture as Skype, so it 
relies more on each participant's bandwidth).

See you all soon.
