   I've been testing BigBlueButton with @agviegas and my son and we think it is f*n great. We found a whiteboard function that didn't quite work on the demo we tested but the rest works brilliantly. I'll be testing a different demo server soon. I've spoken to them and they'd be willing to sell us an account for $30 / month with 6 month binding. I'm wondering if we should make a shared FOSS projects account for the use of all our projects. That might get funds to cover a paid account... but that's a different discussion.

   Here's a quick intro, just seven minutes, let's show people that FOSS video conferencing is possible! ZOOM must die!

   Open source Canvas LMS has additional functionality based on other open source products, for example BigBlueButton. Here are some specific details of implementation and features of the Canvas LMS open source software: https://enterexe.com/open-source-canvas-lms-software-implementation

   Hi @Katherine welcome to the forum for your first post - I hope you stick around.

   Where can I access the source code of the Canvas LMS project? I see that Canvas LMS connects to many open source learning tools, but is Canvas LMS itself open source? There are a few places where Canvas says it has "won" clients from "competitor" "legacy" projects like Moodle. That's unusually negative language from an open source project. Usually in opensource & libre software we try and build each other up rather than knock each other down.

   You can see I have some reservations before I would consider spending more time looking at the platform. I hope you are able to clarify these points.
