At the time of writing that article, we were seeing different pros and cons for different platforms. For example, for at least one of the other platforms mentioned here, there were pretty strict limitations on the number of participants it would allow for back then. Zoom didn't have that kind of issue, and for this and other reasons, it really did stand out as the best option overall. It’s worth adding also that, for the most part, we have received good feedback for Zoom from attendees at our events.
That said, as things move on, we're continuing to explore a whole variety of new options for future events. And we're also keeping a close eye on feedback we get from attendees and others. We appreciate the input and we are taking it into account.
As someone who runs a BigBlueButton cluster, I can say it's not really suited for meetings with more than 100 people. So it probably wasn't suitable for big events like RIPE 80, but perhaps it would work for the webinar? One thing to note is Zoom has since stopped people being able to use the web browser version without creating an account. -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph.
