With contributions in that room and various 'Jitsi Meet' events from Kochi.

These annual 'DebConfs' and several 'MiniDebConfs' in a year, are a unique selling point of Debian and springs from the spirit, philosophy of GNU/Linux. Opening these events around the world to Debian users and getting them involved is the idea behind them.

Debian also lives from the discussion of controversial topics. For this, I think, Jitsi Meet lends itself.

I was wondering why someone already made a knockoff "x" till I got till then end of the title....

If you want people to take you serious, come up with your own name, not a knockoff of the most popular dumpster fire. It's like when mobile games try to sound like AAA console games.

The only people downloading "simplex" from an app store will be confused boomers, which might be what you're going for.

SimpleX has been around since 2020.
