While on the subject of video-conference technology, I believe this is doing 
the rounds in Canberra:

No more YouTube clips, promise.

Back on topic, https://opensource.com/alternatives/skype lists open-source 
alternatives to Skype.

Two of these are Jitsi and Jami (formerly Ring) which is described as: "An 
official GNU package, Jami is licensed under the GPLv3, and takes its 
commitments to security and free and open source software very seriously. 
Communications are secured by end-to-end encryption with authentication using 
RSA/AES/DTLS/SRTP technologies and X.509 certificates."  It can apparently also 
use SIP, which might be a useful feature in the NBN environment.

Do Linkers have any comments or experience regarding these packages, especially 
in light of the security issues with such widely-used software as Zoom?
