I've actually often wondered why DebConf doesn't do what was routine at Usenix, LISA, etc., which was to have a mike for questions and a camera dedicated to that and have people queue to ask questions. Although I suspect it's just lack of space, given that a lot of the rooms we tend to use are rather small and that requires a real aisle. We did that for the Linus Q&A, and I thought that worked much better. And then people who don't want to be filmed will have a clearer idea of what part of the audience will be filmed and can avoid sitting close to the mike, and we could potentially formalize that. I don't know if we can be sure we'll have large enough rooms, and a structure (some teams really like having "sit in a circle" meetings, but still want them filmed) that would let that work. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
