Update: Heise points out that Zoom is giving data to Facebook without notice: https://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/meldung/Bericht-Zoom-App-fuer-iOS-reicht-Daten-heimlich-an-Facebook-weiter-4691613.html (in German). Gore a more detailed analysis see this English post: https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/
For videoconferences without the "original sound" feature of Zoom, I recommend: Jitsi for use with Chrome browser or Jitsi app. Conference servers are available here: https://meet.jit.si or https://meet.ffmuc.net
Update 2: Zoom reacted immediately and removed the data sharing feature from the iOS app with an update, see the announcement here.

On 05.10.2018 the BinG! general meeting has elected a new BinG! board. After the 2-year term of General Manager Franziska Dickhut ended, she did not let herself be put up for election again. President Gabriele von Rauch and treasurer Anna Taferner resigned outside of their term of office.
Every year, BinG! Harmony College requires a great deal of organization, loads of time and lots of know-how. Fortunately, we’ve always been able to find dedicated, diligent helpers, who provide for a structured concept, detailed preparation, and keep everything running smoothly. Most of this happens in the background.
The Barbershop Music Festival in spring 2018 only lasted 3 days, but these 3 days seem to have left a lasting impression on the a cappella scene in Germany.
BinG! gehört seit dem 24. Februar 2018 zum Deutschen Chorverband (DCV). Und damit hat der deutsche Barbershop Verein auch einen Platz am Tisch der Deutschen Chorjugend (DCJ) beziehungsweise in ihrem Beirat. Maximilian Hilz, zweiter BinG!-Vorsitzender, nahm dementsprechend an der diesjährigen DCJ-Beiratssitzung teil.
