[kwlug-disc] Backup plan for BBB server this month

As of now (and since Oct 1) it looks like our BigBlueButton server has
been inaccessible, because Datacity is having an internet outage at
its datacentre. (I cannot imagine its paying customers are very happy
right now.) 

I imagine this will be fixed by Monday. If not: does anybody have
access to a different videoconferencing solution we could use for
Monday? It should be able to support 15-20 participants. Open source
(BBB, Jitsi, ???) is ideologically nicer, but a proprietary service
might work in the worst case. We would have to test such a setup
Friday or Saturday. 

My understanding is that meet.jit.si has limitations now? 

I don't like opening this can of worms but it is important to me that
we maintain good accessibility for people who prefer to participate
online.
