FREE for ALL??

Open ravenOSS opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Expectation: The expectation of paying to host an instance of Jitsi is that a private platform would be available to invitees only.

Issue: Why would we pay to provision an open access platform? Even though the product is described as open source, it does not state that a paid instance will be FOSS and free to anyone who wishes to access the platform.

Solution: Close open access. Make available only to invitees of the owner of the Jitsi platform instance.

Alternatives: As presently offered, there are free offerings such as Zoom for which we would not pay for hosting. Further, 8x8's free access is all that is required.

This Market Place offering offers no value.

Ref: Issue #3

Hi @ravenOSS the value of this offering is saving you time setting up Jitsi. Who you offer access to after that is up to you.

I agree that password-based admin of the instance via the web interface would be a more secure default.
