One of the benefits of using Zoom is its native Linux client. Does Chime offer
a Linux client?
If not, I think it is kinda weird (given the year of the Linux desktop) to use
something that isn't available on Linux.
Cheers,

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the generous offer. :-) We're not paying for zoom, however
I'm definitely up for doing an experiment during our spdx-tech meeting
tomorrow, and if it works for the regular attendees, changing to a system with
better security.
Can you send me the details for the account to use, and we'll do an
experiment during the tech call, and feedback to the wider group.
Thanks again!
Kate

Hi Kate and other SPDX folk,
We have been using Zoom to provide teleconference for SPDX meetings. In light
of recent events, Zoom has gotten very popular, and also been failing many
security audits, and so many companies and governments have started banning its
use.
Amazon has a service very similar to Zoom, called Amazon Chime. Amazon Chime
has 1) it's got much better security, 2) it doesn't give your personal, login,
and meeting info to the adtech tracking industry, 3) it is gratis with all
professional features to the end of June, and 4) as an Amazonian and this being
part of my work, I can provide gratis usage to the SPDX group even after the
end of June.
Chime has clients for Win, and for Mac, it runs in Browser on Firefox and on
Chrome on all OSes, it has clients for mobile OSes, and also has local and
tollfree telephone dialin in most countries.
So, what do you think? Switch to Chime? It's especially a win if we are
paying for Zoom.
