[iaoa-infrastructure] proposal for testing another telecon service: Rendez-Vous

[Laure Vieu]

Dear all,

The non-profit educational federation EduGain [1], in its French
instance RENATER, has installed a telecon system named Rendez-vous [2]
without limitations for research/educational uses.

The practical restriction is that the telecon be launched by someone
officially identified by an existing account on the RENATER / EDUGAIN
network.
I certainly have that access (even outside France), and it remains to be
checked whether others in the EC do have such powers, although I assume
that many if not all of us are EDUGAIN members, perhaps without knowing it.

I propose that we schedule a test to use this service instead of ZOOM.
Unfortunately, I haven't found documentation in another language than
French [3], but there is a minimal FAQ in English from [2]

Please share your views
