Could we *PLEASE* stop the Zoom non-sense?
Zoom is:
- known to have a poor security record
- imposes the install of the desktop non-free app (yes I know, in some
cases, it is supposed to work without it, but so far it didn't work for me)
- controlled by a 3rd party we cannot trust
It's not as if we had no alternatives. Jitsi works perfectly and was
used successfully for the whole of debconf, with voctomix and stuff, so
viewers can read a normal live video stream...
If the foundation doesn't know how to do it, I can put people in touch
with the Debian video team. I'm sure they will be helpful.

Very much this, please.
There are plenty of options out there and yet we _choose_ time after time to use the one that is not open source and has admitted neglecting their security and privacy issues; and effectively forces the usage of their application (I've yet to get into session without it like Thomas pointed out.)
I know Zoom managed to put themselves on top of the hype wave when this COVID-19 mess started, but we should be able to do better than jumping on every single hype train out there.
