At last Sunday's London Meetup we discussed
the situation and while not
wanting to seem over cautious (we were of course the dozen who'd decided

that the April and even
May meetings might need to go virtual.
Is there a recommended software solution for video/audio conferencing a
dozen to twenty people?
I took part in some not the wikipedia Weekly podcasts almost a decade

progressed since then.
