But yes, in general I find zoom to be better than h-o too. As for the move off of IRC part, I think it's a good idea to try to experiment with a different format and see if that fulfils the needs better. If it doesn't, we can always revert to the old one. Note that the format itself is not new in our circles; we have had various types of events that went in parallel on h-o, youtube and IRC and I would say they worked well.
