[crw-talk] Update

[Joe Lehn]

I saw there was mention of Zoom here - I would like to highly recommend NOT
using zoom, as they have been plagued by security issues recently, from
people joining meetings uninvited to residual software hanging around on
your computer after it's uninstalled.  I would recommend using something
like webex or gotomeeting instead.  Webex is currently offering free
meetings for up to 50 people for a max of 40 min (more people or more time
would be a paid subscription), but they are a more reputable
company/service.  More information here:
https://www.webex.com/free-video-conferencing.html.  I use GoToMeeting for
work all the time, but I've used Webex in the past - both good, reputable
services.

Stepping off my soapbox now.
