We can definitely consider using Jitsi for the next OIF community meeting. One significant feature that Zoom has is our ability to record the community meeting so that the rest of the community can watch on their own time, accommodating for different time zones. For those who do not wish to participate via Zoom tomorrow, the recording will be posted on YouTube and all of the PTLs share in their presentation how to connect with them via email or IRC.

Actually foundation has Jitsii server also - see
https://meetpad.opendev.org/ In Neutron team we were using it
almost without problems during last PTG.

It's not really "the foundation" though, it's run by the OpenDev
Collaboratory sysadmins and community.

But problem which we had with it was that it didn't work for
people from China AFAIK so we had to switch to Zoom finally.

This is unsubstantiated. We suspect people worldwide experience
problems with getting WebRTC traffic through corporate firewalls,
but on the whole people who live in mainland China have been
conditioned to assume anything which doesn't work is being blocked
by the government. We're working with some folks in China to attempt
to prove or disprove it, but coordinating between timezones has
slowed progress on that. We hope to have a better understanding of
the local access problems for China, if any, soon.
