To summarise: FSM-LA used BigBlueButton and we used Jitsi; FSM-LA had rich content (well-organised speakers) and we had prepared none (while we tested the venue / hardware / software / people mix for teleconferencing). In hindsight, we could/should have dialled in to FSM-LA to observe / participate. Our belated apologies, thus.
One thing that I think would be good would be to have a regular meeting for repeats of best-of talks from LUGs in the Australia/NZ region. There are lots of LUGs having online meetings which have a local flavour and not all the talks would work for a large audience.
What do you think?
Thank you Les and Russell for your replies. I am thinking of a 'Free Software Channel', of sorts, a streaming site or nexus where the best of what is relevant and current to the cause can be put on constant cycle as learning content. (Unless such a channel already exists? - Duckduckgo says no.) A simplified task for small SFD teams would then be to put learners in front of it on the day. Bigger teams can be generating fresh content input, as you have just done. As a regional focus it makes us see further. So yes, let's collate what's available and give it regularised screening. This is at least an idea of a solution for what seems to be declining awareness of the meaning of freedom and quality in open computing etc. It is a motivator where, after 17 unmissed years since SFD's start for local teams, the will to go on with it may in places be waning.
