Apparently it's AI coded? Or maybe not?
What does powered by mean when LiveKit is about AI agents?
Are we letting AI agents meet instead of ourselves?
The linked LiveKit website and linked LiveKit blog post seem completely disconnected. I don't get it.
Why why why not just use Jitsi ?
People contribute to FSF to support programmers to make important Libre products like this one and give it away , seems so wasteful for a government to fund a whole new different effort
Having used both Jitsi and LiveKit, I get it. Jitsi is great if you use it as it is, but if you want to integrate video conferencing into your own solution and customize everything, LiveKit is the logical choice. (I think it is also much newer then Jitsi, which used to be the only choice.)
If they wanted to integrate a finished product, I would expect them to use Matrix over Jitsi, because it seems to have seen some use in France already.
Also, I think Matrix integrated LiveKit for video over their existing Jitsi integration, so... the ecosystem seems to flock around LiveKit anyway. So maybe the'll contribute to LiveKit if they find issues with it, and everyone benefits from that.
