Hi,
- - How can we come up with a model that provides a more sustainable organizational effort?
i) The place - I am attending oSC since 2012. Looking at the trend,oSC12 probably had highest number of attendees. But yes we co hosted oSC12 like this year. Number matters! I am still giving maximum ++ to oSC12 because the location. I believe It was easy to access to most attendees being a capital city & relatively big city compare to host cities for oSC13,14 & 15 respectively. It is obvious that, bigger cities [population wise] always has large audience & contributors in general. During oSC12 I met several openSUSE contributors who traveled thousands of miles to attend oSC12 from outside & within Europe. Same experience continued for oSC13. ii) Technical/Audio~Video setup - Places like Universities already has 50~60% technical setup ready & we don't have to spend that much time & energy on setting things up. I was lucky enough to attend 'Video streaming and recording via Open-source software' session by Martin Caj & continued by Juergen Weigert to get detailed information.
- - What would it take to raise oSC attendance closer to the top of your list, given the other reasons listed above plus your own are still present?
i) Length of conference - Yes we talk/complain about less audience on 4th i.e. last day of the conference. :-) feasibility check = Shall we go with/try out 2 or 3 days conference structure instead of 4 day structure? I am comparing openSUSE Asia 2 day summit last year + count of attendees against recent oSC's.
