[OSList] Zoom for OST Was: OSList Digest, Vol 105, Issue 15

[Deborah Hartmann Preuss]

Hello, Mark:

I've been using zoom for years - love it.

Still, it is missing some key features to allow de-centralized movement and
self-organisation for OST. The Liberating Structures community has a group
working on how to adapt the LS collaboration patterns, including OST, to
distributed working platforms. They use zoom. They've identified the lacks
of zoom (ex: you cannot freely move from one breakout room to another
without host intervention, etc) and may be in conversation with zoom.us
about that.

Qiqochat is a platform that incorporates zoom and adds features alongside
it to create something more suitable to OST. I attended an online OST there
a few years ago (in the early stages of experimenting with this) and
thoroughly enjoyed it. Michael Herman facilitated, iirc, and could tell you
more, maybe even how it has evolved. At the beginning it was hard to get
non-techies set up for Qiqochat, so I dropped it. But there have been
improvements and the owner, Lucas Cioffe is very pro-active in constantly
improving it so I suspect it has evolved a lot since then. It is quite nice
to use once you're set up. And Lucas does good user support.

I have no first-hand recommendation at present, but thought this history
might help.
