I tried at least 3 times before finally getting in and we spoke about
the 'new' system. We closed early as we did not know that people had
been waiting! As Hugh said it was not helpful that we did not know
things had changed.
In future I'll try to join the meeting later.

Ralph, well remembered... I was going to post a message explaining the same
shortly after last month's meeting but forgot.
It would seem that Jitsi will not notify others in the lobby when
lobbyMembersWaiting >1, which seems a bit weird. Everyone just sits there
thinking they are the only ones waiting for a moderator.
That almost certainly explains what happened last month.

Hi Terry,
Unless the forecast changes significantly between now and then, I'll
be going to the Midlands next week, so I probably won't be around
again.
Peter emailed the list saying it looked like last month's meeting didn't
happen. Andrew told me privately that he turned up, no one else did, so
he left. When I popped in later, Clive, Hamish, and Hugh were present.
My guess is Jitsi's new-ish requirement for a moderator to open a ‘room’
by authenticating delayed the start of the meeting. Meanwhile, everyone
is kept waiting for a moderator to arrive and some give up before he
does.
Presumably, you're are normally the moderator when you attend and so
it's a surprise to the others that it's required and one of them has to
finally take it on for the meeting to start?
I thought by raising the issue, other attendees might be more aware of
the requirement and step in when you're not there.
