fwiw, the end was not good but at the same time there was something funny and comical about it. At least forme, because I don’t have much experience with video conferencing and this was the first situation of this kind for me.
Oops, Pat, I, etc., kept on letting people in…
After our first meeting, I believe there was some talk about having the presenter consider recording his or her own presentation as a backup in case something goes wrong.
Jitsi will save the video to a dropbox account as well if someone has an account there. Maybe it would be good to ask for the ability to download to something like NextCloud as well.
There are also a couple of Chrome browser extensions that I found that will record webrtc browser windows locally. I haven’t tried them yet.
I would also miss the direct video and audio connections to other people if meetings were only streamed on youtube.
Not vouching for this browser extension, but here’s the github page:
I really enjoy the social aspect of it and like the fact that it’s not just a “watch someone edit photos on a livestream” type thing. Strangely I’ve become more social and participatory since the world has moved online. I’m pretty introverted and not a big conference fan.
Maybe there could be some kind of round table or, heaven forbid, podcast type element with a discussion agenda for one of these followed by a livestream presentation with a Q&A session?

Sadly, I missed this 
Would love to be on the next one.
Thanks for the meeting.
I’m happy to meet all of you. The presentation caught me off-guard 
It was a pity that I had to disconnect “early” but the time I was, it was worth it.
About jitsi, maybe we can make some tries before the next meeting to find the right architecture (a live meeting with jitsi, live broadcasting to youtube, storing it somewhere, …).
PS: When I was present it worked really well
