Dear all,

I understand the importance of FOSS, and the necessity to use it ourselves.

Yet, if I have to choose between the event not happening (because stranding on nobody willing/able) to provide the needed expertise and bandwith or the event happening on some closed source streaming server... I will choose the latter everyday of the week.

So unless there is someone standing up and offering to supply for this open source streaming service, I will applaud any single person doing whatever initiative it is.

Jurgen,
Just some FOSS-minded dude.

Dear Sir

None of the above list are a Free/Libre Software.

 

Are any of these options Free Software in the sense that the Free
Software Foundation uses the term "Free" and with source code fully
available?

Source code is the Freedom No.1 You should have in a Libre/Free Software. But Freedom 0, 2 and 3 are essential in a Software to be a Libre software.

 

Some of our local group includes Free/Libre software
advocates and I don't think they'd go for a solution that wasn't
approved by the FSF.  Thanks.

For Live video streaming and video conference you may use jitsi meet at https://meet.jit.si or you may download the source and host on your own server or vps. :)

with regards.
