It would be nice...but I just don't see it working in practice.
Zoom was the best-positioned company in the world to handle the influx of remote meetings when the pandemic started, and even they buckled under the strain, at least initially. I can't imagine that Jitsi would be able to handle the load if all schools switched over to it tomorrow, without a couple billion dollars in additional funding.
- MonadIsPronad 6y agoThis note is perhaps conflating hardware with software. It sounds like a reasonable solution to me for each university or school to have some small server hardware running free software that supports their online needs.
- larrywright 6y agoThat’s a nice idea, but what happens when you have a situation like what happened earlier this year? Every school sent their kids home and they went fully remote. All of those software tools suddenly got a lot more use. If school districts were relying on self hosted solutions, they’d have all had to provision new hardware in a hurry. Hardware they likely don’t have budget for. The reality is that cloud based software makes a lot more sense.
