Unofficial 'Café Vivaldi' via 'Jitsi Meet'
-
Today we opened our unofficial 'Vivaldi Ambassador Café room.
Now the 'Café Vivaldi' is completely open to the public. (09.02.2025)
This is the Jitsi Meet link:
https://meet.ffmuc.net/vivaldiambassadorjitsimeetAs in any real café, we have a wide range of themes.
'Jitsi Meet' is a very good, Open Source video conference, much better than Zoom, Skype and Co.
You don't need your own account, just click on the link, and you're in our room, which runs via a powerful, data-secure, public Jitsi Meet server cluster of a registered, non-profit German association.If you are interested and would like to join us, but are not yet an Ambassador, just join us: https://vivaldi.net/volunteers
Ambassadors are an open-minded, interested group with our own 'Private Ambassador Forum'.
Why don't you take a look at it.

Our 'Jitsi Meet' room 'Café Vivaldi' is now completely open to the public.
You don't have to be now a Vivaldi team member, Moderator, Soprano, Translator or Ambassador to join.

It shouldn't look like this, the room is open and the lobby is switched off.
This is what it looks like when the “Lobby” in Jitsi Meet is switched on.Something is going wrong.
The conference is restarted.
'Jitsi Meet' has been developed very stably for many years.
The public server behind it has been running very efficiently for years and is subject to the European General Data Protection Regulation.Problems are almost always caused by the end devices used, often in the settings.
Jitsi Meet runs excellently on Vivaldi.
For Android, I recommend the original app from “F-Droid” without Google Libraries.
Jitsi Meet is also available in all app stores. -
In Jitsi Meet the alias is freely selectable at any time.
German or English should be written and spoken here.
Jitsi Meet also offers good support options through screen sharing, e.g. in separate rooms.
There are many posts about Jitsi Meet here in the forum, especially in the private Ambassador forum.

No worries. Me too I would say that issue is not from jitsi I will have it work eventually

Sorry for the previous Vivaldi Café, it is of course correctly called 'Café Vivaldi'.
Thanks for the nice hint.
Our Café Vivaldi' is bilingual English, German.
For now, but maybe French will be added soon.
We try to guarantee 24/7 operation.
Let's see if we succeed. -
It is a pleasure to see how well and quickly our Café Vivaldi is developing.
We are getting closer and closer to our goal of a 24/7 project.
Of course, we are still looking for more moderators.
Especially from the Asian time zone.
But not only.So if you are interested in such things, please get in touch ...

We are currently planning a number of events, such as presentations with discussions in our Café Vivaldi.
We also want to include a cultural section with readings and possibly live music.
We also have real artists here.
"From Vivaldi users for Vivaldi users".If you have any ideas and would like to take part in the realisation, please let us know.
If e.g. @Ruarí would like to do a wheely with the unicycle and present it live in the Café Vivaldi.
(Which we would of course prevent. Would perhaps almost be art.)The level can also be very mixed for us.
Nothing has to be perfect at the Café Vivaldi.
The motto is always: "Do it better yourself".
We don't want to be the 'Privacy Week Vienna', and we can't be.
https://privacyweek.atFor me, the mother of all good online events, organised by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) Vienna, realy great,all via 'Jitsi Meet'.

There is now a password for the moderation team.
When different nicknames are used in Café Vivaldi.For data protection reasons, the Vivaldi Café history is deleted more frequently.

We had our first, very nice, in-depth Café Vivaldi moderator meeting today.
It lasted a little longer and was a great pleasure.
Our motto is that we keep going for as long as everyone feels like it, has the opportunity and is in the mood.

If you are interested in further technical details, especially the utilisation of our public 'Jitsi Meet' server in München
https://stats.ffmuc.net/d/U6sKqPuZz/meet3a-stats?orgId=1&refresh=1m&from=now-6h&to=now-10s&timezone=browser&var-jvb=$__allSome more general information about the Jitsi Meet server we use.
https://ffmuc.net/freifunkmuc/2020/03/21/meetwhich only lives from donations and private funds.
Elon Musk has certainly not given a cent there.(I think there are more and more "left-green dirty stories" here in the wonderful Vivaldi Forum, quote Alice Weidel from the German ‘AfD’.
The British ‘The Guardian’
https://www.theguardian.com
is very good.)
This Jitsi Meet server is also widely used internationally by educational institutions.
(Fits in with the political situation in the USA.
But this project will not be closed.)
Edit: here at Café Vivaldi, we also discuss politics and religion properly, respectfully and not aggressively.
We are a nice café and not a boxing stall.Fortunately, we already have just some veery good Moderators.
But we could always needs more.
In order to be able to guarantee continuous 24/7 operation. -
I just like to say that now.
I'm high delighted, things are developing very well here.Even if it almost seem to be holding a monologue here.
-
Unusual things are happening in our 'Café Vivaldi'.
Already now.Not everyday things for a real café either.
No, it wasn't a fight.

We have now also set up two rooms for our Café Vivaldi on the very good Open Source messenger [Matrix], much, much better than WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Facebook and co.
A public room:
#cafévivaldi:tchncs.de
https://matrix.to/#/#cafévivaldi:tchncs.deAnd a private room:
"Café Vivaldi Moderation"Where joining the room is by invitation only.
A shared space is important for moderators.

"World Penguin Day 2025
on 25 April 2025 in the world"Just noted in the calendar.
For this day, we will pre-plan a major Linux event so that as many people as possible will be interested.
In our unofficial, but very nice 'Café Vivaldi' via 'Jitsi Meet'.
We will start the preparations today!
If you are already interested in participating in the preparations, a little less or more, please ...
There is also a 'Café Vivaldi' room on the very good open source messenger [Matrix]
https://matrix.to/#/#cafévivaldi:tchncs.dea private 'Café Vivald Moderation' room, which can only be joined by invitation, and two public, unofficial 'Vivaldi Browser' rooms.
#vivaldibrowser:matrix.orghttps://matrix.to/#/#_bifrost_vivaldi_conference.monocles.de:tchncs.de
The range of topics in 'Café Vivaldi' is always wide, from culture, politics to technical, Linux, Windows, Apple things.
On this day, however, we will hopefully be able to enjoy literature, art, readings, presentations, discussions and live music.
Think it will be an event from breakfast till late at night.
The more active people take part, the better we will succeed.
Until 25 April 2025, there will be a whole series of smaller events, public rehearsals, which will be announced here in the Vivaldi Browser Forum and in our public 'Café Vivaldi' [Matrix] room.
With a lot of luck and a lot of commitment and a lot of volunteers, it could be a really, really great thing.
I'll just say very quietly, very carefully "Privacy Week Wien".
"'Pssst""
