TLDR
----

We're on schedule for the IRC classroom sessions. Please keep a look
out for any more interesting talks that we can do. If you'd like to
take a session, get in touch! If you can bribe a friend to take a
session, get in touch!

On the *new* class room initiative that will move away from IRC to platforms more apt for teaching, we're reviewing video platforms:

* FranciscoD review "open meeting"
* linuxmodder- to review "Big blue button BBB"
* skamath write a report about "Jitsi"
* x3mboy review "ekiga"

And of course, we'll get in touch with a redhatter to get some feedback
on "BlueJeans". If you'd like to help, please get in touch with the
responsible party via email/irc. If you know other platforms useful for
teaching, please get in touch with us too - while we're looking at
video platforms at the moment, any and all software that can be used
for teaching is most welcome (eg: moodle!). More info here:

We'll all blog our reviews so that they turn up on the planet, with a
heading: "$platform review for use in Fedora classroom sessions".
