I've dug around a bit, and also cant find anything to suggest that
they are open sourcing any parts of their solution, or anything
resembling bjn providing development or support for existing open
source technology components.

Their own java classes are using namespace "vc.bjn", and googing that
doesnt lead to anything.

Here is their recent github organisation:

https://github.com/BlueJeansNetwork

This looks like an older one:

https://github.com/bluejeansnet

And here is the only use of "vc.bjn" in github, by an employee

https://github.com/Aldaviva/tailor

Other employees have "operations"-like repos

https://github.com/sczizzo

If the organisation is a credible contributor to open source, I havent
found it yet.  I hope that WMF included "open sourciness" in their
product selection criteria & evaluation, so their should be some
document describing how BJN is contributing to open source.  It would
be great if that can be shared.

If BNJ isnt actually open source, here is an open source solution that
we could use and help fund as required (e.g. buying their commercial
offerings so that WMF Engineering/Ops doesnt need to support it)
