[Lugstuff] meeting reminder unknown future date

Mon Apr 6 17:04:51 EDT 2020

 Brad,
Certainly if it is just a matter of logging on to their site, than it should lend itself to the purposes of the Linux Users Group.  I agree that the absence of a 40-minute time limit is an advantage.  One feature of Zoom that would be particularly useful for our group would be the screen sharing.  Would be nice if FreeConferenceCall.com has this, which it probably does based on your description.

Looks like it's decision time for Ted if we are going to have a meeting tonight.

 Bob -
I suggested it only because it doesn't have a session limit.  As I said, I use FreeConferenceCall.com for my business meetings (Zoom wasn't around when we started, it's easy enough for clients to attend, I can share documents, we have a recording for later reference, and the price is definitely right for a small business ;-).  Since COVID19, I've been using Zoom heavily up here at the University of Pittsburgh for both my classes and my research (the University maintains an on-prem instance of Zoom for security and capacity).
As far as I know, both are fine :-)

 Brad,
Since FreeConferenceCall doesn't appear to be open source (correct me if I'm wrong), are there any advantages to using it over the very familiar Zoom, which installs easily and is very user friendly?

 Sorry, I should have added that despite the name, FreeConferenceCall.com is a multi-user video conferencing application, not just audio.  They have desktop apps for Linux, MacOS, Windows, Android, and iOS
