[07:31:48] gilles: I'm curious about Gregs, he told me he submitted about a new metric he's been working on but not what metric. [07:37:12] can you forward all submissions or add them to the drive? [07:55:12] phedenskog: it's already in the team drive [07:55:17] https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18e0OMDyJks2efflZsMnvwl0NnpRHI3Z- [08:00:29] great [08:00:38] FYI: I requested half a day [08:14:59] if they don't clarify it, I assume that's what we have [08:15:56] if we get 10-14 it's going to be hard for US speakers to attend their own Q&A... [08:16:08] I don't think that the FOSDEM folks have thought this through [08:22:26] if I take the minimum duration each person quoted, we already have 3 hours and 35 minutes of content. If we divide Q&A time evenly that's less than 3 minutes of Q&A each. In other words, if we retain everyone who has applied a half-day isn't quite enough [08:24:52] also the way they describe the live Q&A sessions automatically starting and cutting off sounds awful. I think it would be a lot simpler to handle if Q&A happened exclusively in the chat and the hallway track. with speakers expected to answer in the chat during their video and then go hang out after their talk in the hallway video call [08:25:43] this way people can have a live conversation without any time constraint if they want to, in the "hallway", while the next talk is being broadcast [08:26:14] maybe we should just tell them that's what we want to do, and it lets us accept more speakers [08:27:30] I'll ask them on the mailing list whether that would be acceptable [09:32:05] good thing
