Jitsi is also integrated into Riot (the Matrix client). I was in a group

planned tutorials for Wikimedia which are in a video or interactive format.
Initially this information was on Meta in a place which was difficult to
find. I moved the content to

As I understand it, the FDC was basically suspended at the start of the
movement strategy discussions, and hasn’t met since. The funding for affiliates
was apparently maintained at a constant level during the suspension, and the
future of the program depends on whatever the movement strategy out

I am a big fan of open source, and setting up a Jitsi conference is a
solution that I often default too (with a bonus of having the possibility
to have easy placeholders, e.g. meet.jit.si/WikimediaSummit

We are trying to assemble the latest up to date advice we can get, as you
can imagine thats a very complex task given how wide spread our community
is and the shifting dynamics of the current situation. While ESEAP is the
host for the Wikimania we still need the WMF,
Hi,
I believe it likely is too early to make a decision. We have a professional
team at the WMF monitoring the situation, but the date is still 5 months in

It is reasonable to expect that we may need to make adjustments to the
