Done

• Remove Jitsi branding
  • Google Slides laying out where in the UI these exist https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15KlJoJRFng3xadSw1o0E0xSunGWpECSEcdBRiZBgDBA/edit#slide=id.g860bdd4a39_0_3
  • Logo: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Rmj17dQweGt5l9EFFBrp_9DHIY1WHmG2
  • In Rooms
    • People are called "Participants" instead of "Fellow Jitsers"
    • The jitsi.org + logo watermark is removed
    • And replaced with the Convene Logo
    • The Jitsi name is replaced with Convene when requesting permissions for video and audio
      • in the Browser prompt (This is correct on convene.zinc.coop, but not on meet.zinc.coop)
      • In the web page "Jitsi Meet Needs to..."
  • When Links are "unfurled" into Facebook/Slack/Etc it says "Convene" and not "Jitsi"

I've created a G Slide where I've pointed to some considerations.

They revolve around:

• replacing with the Convene Logo <- which means we have to decide and pick something

• Consider changing the "meet.zinc.coop" URL if we believe the branding is inconsistent with Convene (would love to know what @colombene @cricketlova think about this).

• Consider changing the text on the landing page. I've made suggested changes in the Notes section of the slides, but defer to @colombene for a final go ahead.

[cricketlova]

@maximegalon5 - I am very pro- removing jitsi branding in place of Convene's. The two experiences feel completely different right now and have no reason for a customer to believe that they're the same.

Additional thoughts:

• changing color palette to match what has been made on (https://www.zinc.coop/convene/)
• changing the favicon

[cricketlova]

& out of the two logos, definitely prefer 'C' one over the weird one. Is there a vector file for the 'c' logo? I'd love to dabble around with them a bit (no promises that it will be any better)

[maximegalon5]

@cricketlova we didn't but I used Inkscape to create one here. Let me know if that works or if there is any other ones you need me to convert.

The C one seems to be preferred by us all atm.

@cricketlova and @maximegalon5 - I've created a set of checkboxes for each of the items to take care of while rebranding. We are choosing not to change the meet.zinc.coop landing page at this time; because we expect that to be a place where we'll want to do more heavy construction before we release Andromeda.

@cricketlova - Could you give me more specifics on what in the "in room" experience you think we should replace with which colors? Ideally with hex-codes?

Moving this back to in-progress because we haven't rebrand Jitsi Meet needs to use your microphone and camera.

My understanding is we simply need to passed interfaceConfig.APP_NAME to override this but we have already done that and it doesn't wokr.
Below is the source code referencing the user media permission overlay.

Found this, looks like the Jitsi team disabled that, so we will have to edit the js code in Jitsi Meet to achieve that.

If you use your own deployment please edit interface_config.js instead of using overrides, since we disabled some, due to people not respecting our fair use instructions.

@maximegalon5 - In your usage over the past week have you seen JITSI branding anywhere?

No, I have not. Went to the demo site and fiddled around with it and don't see Jitsi anywhere, currently <- on my regular Chrome browser. However, I checked with a browser that I don't use and saw a reference. Uploading the screenshot on Slack.

[maximegalon5]

Also here. Didn't see it anywhere else on my desktop.

[user512]

Still showing Jitsi Meet, I can take a look again.

[user512]

Provisioned a new video bridge instance with a new snapshot that has the brand name changes.
Ready to be confirmed.

[zspencer]

Thank you! This looks like it's working! I must have screwed up something when I allocated an instance...

[user512]

Likely because I delete the wrong snapshot after testing #84.

[zspencer]

I'm expanding this issue to include more things around expression of color, as well as the domain-level customization
