Thanks again for raising this. Tbh, I was expecting to hear exactly that 
concern from you, but I couldn't find a "better" solution for now.

While I know bluejeans itself is not open source, it's a hosted 
solution. But it doesn't require you to install any additional software 
or an "app". It worked with old firefox versions and it does with newer 
as well. You can also dial in with local numbers, if you don't want or 
can not use a computer.

A real alternative may be big blue button, or senfcall.de; I haven't 
tested that in world-wide communications so far; my personal experience 
with jitsi calls from the same area was that it scaled up to a few 
participants.

Currently, I don't know how many people will join the call.

On a side note, is anyone aware of a service like "doodle", but without 
privacy issues? (I was expecting protest about using doodle as well).
