Thank you Asaf for this initiative, personally I like clinics. I have seen the other proposals, there is a big problem that they are already used so there is a big risk of confusion, another proposal is to give visibility to this meeting. a nice little logo would be nice. Another question is that if for example we wanted to use the Jitsi app platform on meet.wmcloud.org how would we do it?
