#2The Jitsi team is fantastically responsive at answering technical questions about their codebase. Some of the code is showing a bit of its age, but they're constantly renovating and updating it. Thanks for everything you guys do!

#3I've used the Jitsi integration with Riot.im a bit on my self-hosted Matrix/Synapse server -- I'm always impressed with what a high-quality and seamless experience it is

#4I try to use open source tools wherever possible with my team. Can anyone experienced with both share how this compares to Zoom or Hangouts? Is it reliable?

This is a pretty common thing to do – even the FSF does this for GNU projects.

The FSF situation is a bit different, assigning your copyrights to them is making a donation to charity. They also allow you to take back the copyright at any time.

It's reliable, especially for one-on-ones or smaller groups with particpants that have good bandwidth internet connections. In terms of bandwidth needs it can't compete with Zoom yet. If you have bigger meetings with participants from all over the world, and would like to use video, I wouldn't recommend it at the moment.

#10We were using this for a while to do meetings for sr.ht, but we recently switched to - believe it or not - Mumble. It's old and unsexy but damn it's reliable.
