Lockdown has arrived again so we are still in the world of virtual 
meetings. If
you haven't tried one please do, we don't bite, and even if we did 
you're a safe
distance away behind a webcam and mic (no need to have the camera on if
you prefer not to).

Apologies for the late notice, a combination of toothache (not ideal in 
lockdown)
and an eye infection (makes using a computer difficult, at least for a 
novice, I'm
sure Mike could give me a lesson or two!) have caused some interesting
challenges over the past week or so.

The meet will be slightly later than our in person meets at 2pm to give
everyone enough time to have lunch - virtual sandwiches aren't as
filling!

To join head to:

https://meet.jit.si/plugmeet

I'm not sure whether Jitsi has issues with random people joining, but
just in case I will set a password of 'sat20'. If for some reason the
URL above has been grabbed I will update via the list and website (you
don't seem to be able to reserve them).

I use Firefox, but I have heard that some have had issues and recommend
Chrome or Chromium. There is also an app that you will be asked to
download if you are using Android or Apple (it is also available through
F-Droid).

If anyone wants to join by phone I can email a code when the meeting
starts (I don't think it gets created until then with Jitsi), but I have
no idea where you stand on call costs. It came up at the IWPCUG / IOWLUG
meet and I investigated.

See and/or hear you there - so to speak!

Keep safe.

Thanks,
Paul
