Hi there, Starting this week-end (after the conference) creating new rooms on our Jitsi instance <https://jitsi.documentfoundation.org> will require authentication (from our Single Sign-On platform). Joining an existing room will remain possible without authentication. “Guests” will need to wait in the lobby until someone opens the room, at which point they will be let in automatically.
This likely means that creating new rooms will no longer be possible from the mobile app (a browser is needed to render the SSO portal form and redirect back). Again, joining existing rooms from the mobile will remain possible however. The rationale is to avoid our instance being abused and/or used for non TDF-related meetings. For now creating a new room will be limited to TDF members; please shout out if you need to create new rooms but are not a TDF member yet (though if that's the case you should definitely consider applying for membership ^^), we can create ad-hoc ACLs if needs be. Also at first there won't be any distinction between rooms (*any* TDF member will be able to create *any* room), but fine-tuning (so say only BoD chair can open this room or only staff can open that room etc.) is possible if desired. Note also that a room stays alive until the last person hangs up, even after the creator and moderators have left. Please use shared secrets to secure rooms from unsolicited visitors, either by setting a password after creation or via the use of passwordless rooms with non-guessable names.
