+1 I think that we can work out a solution so that every room at the PTG has a live stream going with the ability of people to join remotely. This would be hugely beneficial for those who are unable to attend as they'll be able to join the room and be part of the discussion. I can imagine that it involves quite a bit of logistics, but with the right planning and testing, I think it could work out great. > It’s just a matter of some hardware and a decent internet bandwidth that’s > already available to almost every places where a PTG took place. > > Problem solved. > > PS: Even if I second your thoughts about the fact that some can make it to a > physical meeting for some reason (And I’m one of them), your email sounds a > little bit aggressive.
