What's new

Groups can run committee meetings from the site. Plan a meeting on the walks calendar - in person, online or hybrid - with an agenda, an email invite and a calendar attachment, then edit or cancel it later with the invitees kept informed. Online meetings use Jitsi: free public Jitsi by default with no setup, or a single self-hosted server that runs the whole estate's meetings, with member identity, committee moderators, shared notes and AI minutes. That self-hosted server is one container, deployed once from admin to its own Fly app and shared by every site, so calls run on hardware we control with no third party in the middle and nothing recorded.

Build 848 fixed the self-hosted server's first deployment: two of its internal services need passwords, and the deploy was not setting them, so the container stopped at start-up. The deploy now sets those passwords automatically and the server starts first time. Nothing changes for groups using the default free public video service.
