Jason,

Thanks for that.

The Jitsi Meet (https://meet.jit.si/) is tempting and may well be the
fallback if my NextCloud isn't up to a reasonable loading.


Just running through some updates at the moment in usual Just-In-Time
working! Well, hopefully so on the 'working' aspect!!

Watch the list!

(And then there is always IRC... :-) )


Hope you're all safely enjoying the sunshine :-)

Cheers,
Martin
