Hi Everyone,

The IETF Gather space will continue to live at the same URL [1] unless we take it down (and we have no plans to do that). So, please feel free to use the space whenever you want. In addition, I welcome any suggestions for improvements.

Currently there is a limit of 25 participants, but we will let you know if that changes.

Best,
Alexa

I understand that it supports screen sharing and can be used in a completely ad hoc fashion.  Of course I'm not sure if there would be a cost for keeping gather available between meetings...
