[chbot] Teleconference by Zoom

[ceo at andygardner.com]

Is there a linux server at 05 clubrooms we can install an open source solution on? If not, we have 10 hours to get one in there. :^)

There's been problems with video sucking bandwidth out of links and there's students and businesses trying to use the Internet for important shit. I think we want to make sure we're not contributing to bandwidth problems. Using a local server would help, I think.

05 could use it to have meetings to, of course.
