Rethinking TeX in STEM: Online Thu 29 Sep: 6.30pm BST (UK time): From the TeX Hour

[Christopher W. Ryan]

The Calyx Institute also offers a free, public Jitsi Meet server. I like
this a lot better than zoom. I used it for the first time in a teaching
event at my university and worked great. My other employer, a county
government, blocks it, sadly. And for reasons I don't understand.
