Advantages of LPC:
+ well defined date + more attendees (ARM people, Steven Rostedt ;-) + access to some powerful video conference tool + access to another LPC content + support for the conference in the long term
Advantages of self-organized event:
+ less paperwork? + cheaper? + only interested people invited + date after summer holidays + more time for the discussion
I am in the favor of self organized event. For me, LPC is much less interesting without the personal contact and hallway conversations. All the LPC date is not ideal for me.
I'd prefer LPC proper, as it would be easier (infrastructure is already taken care of) and more inclusive (in the past we often got good feedback from outside the direct livepatch community). And it's only $50 US.
Yeah, I think having more attendees would be valuable.
But to be honest I have doubts about the usefulness of any online conference, so either way may be equally useless ;-)
Indeed. OTOH our fellow openSUSE guys seemed to have held a fairly successful virtual summit earlier this year with some in-development virtual-conferencing software that does more than just video/audio streaming ( https://requiredmagic.com/roundtable/ ). In particular the possibility to have interactive Q&A with the presenter during and after the allotted talk slot seemed to have made up for hallway discussions. Maybe that's a viable way. (I personally wasn't at the virtual summit to know for sure, but the experience report from some of them was quite positive; I know nothing about the conferencing software of LPC) Ciao, Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: ulp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: ulp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
