Hey, "Wikimedia Meet" [0] (https://meet.wmcloud.org), is a project in Wikimedia CloudVPS for Wikimedians to meet virtually instead of using commercial services like Zoom which might have security and privacy implications [1][2]. Currently it's a jitsi (jitsi.org) installation.
If you want to just use/test it, let me know and I create you a user and password. You can share the username and password with anyone you want to meet but please do not post it publicly. In your email you can also give me your desired user and password. **Do not reuse any password**. You can also contact any of the ticketmasters instead of me: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Meet#List_of_ticketmasters
In order to make this project more robust, I'm looking for Ticketmasters too, Ticketmasters create accounts for others (It doesn't require any technical knowledge, you fill a form in web for others)
If you want to help maintaining it (which would be greatly appreciated) let me know and I give you the needed access. I put the technical documentation in mediawiki.org [3]. There are several bits you can help with, like puppetizing it, scalability, observability, improving authentication, trying to see if BBB can be used as well, and so much more. You can find the tickets in the phabricator board and assign a ticket to yourself if you feel like helping out.

Hope that would be useful for our users :) Best
I proofread the email several times and still managed to miss an important point:
This installation is not large and currently, it wouldn't be able to handle 100 people. It worked fine with 10 people in a meeting but not much more than that. So please be mindful in using this resource.

I told so many times WMF should support infrastructure for the volunteers, so thank you very much for this step in that direction. A.M.

Hey, A quick update. In order to improve its security, from now on, ticketmasters don't need to know your username and password (and don't send them your desired username and password anymore). You ask them a token and they generate you an one-time-use token for you and then you can use that in https://meet-auth.wmflabs.org/create to create your account for yourself.
Stay safe, stay home.
