is it possible to have a conference room computer join a bingbong?

Originally requested by @gsiener, none of us had any ideas on how to get the conference room computer to unlock and launch the bingbong, so we punted on it.

@mrdavidlaing pointed me at a hackday video from the Pivotal Dublin team which seems to invoke some magic on their conference room machines to fire up Zoom. I would like to know more.

@benchapman and @henderjm -- can either of you share details on the deep magic you used?

We used SSH and this Apple script snippet to automate login and opened Zoom by calling Chrome in the terminal.

I believe it required some modification, I will take a look for the code we used and report back next week.
