I'd like to bring the following issue to your attention - the usage of Webex for TSC meetings.
As you probably know, there is a very poor (if not lack at all) support for Webex on Linux systems.
As a result, community members such as myself are not able to connect to the meetings nor listen to their recording afterwards.
The webex recordings desktop player is not available for Linux, nor does it work (at least not out of the box) in Firefox/Chrome on Fedora/RHEL.

IMHO, being part of an open source community, and especially belonging to the Linux foundation implies that all community members are supposed to be able to easily access the meetings and their recording, and should be able to so from a Linux OS.

Please consider using some other tool that is supported well on Linux.
Or perhaps switch to IRC which is a very common method of holding meetings in other open source projects.

I agree, webex is quite Linux unfriendly. IRC is pretty common and
very simple. Simple conference bridge is as well (happy to allow mine
to be used). Most of the webex usage is to display the web page w/
the agenda. And for the occasional non-agenda web page we can use
etherpad, shared docs, emailed presos, etc.

This also makes sense to me. Thanks Alissa for raising the issue.
