Hi,
I won't be able to attend the mid-cycle sprint due to a good family
reason (a new baby 2.0 release expected to land by these dates), so I'm
wondering if it's possible to webcast some of the sessions so people who
are not there can still share their voices ?
It's the same issues we have with remote participation to design summit
sessions. It's possible to arrange a specific person (or set of persons)
to attend a specific session (via some combination of tools). It's
impossible to let everyone attend everything without significantly
impacting the quality of the in-person discussion.
As a remote participant at the last mid-cycle meeting I'm going to agree
with this. I successfully participated in a few topics and otherwise
just tried to listen in to what was being discussed. Getting involved
with most discussions was difficult because although the audio was quite
good for a remote setup there were two challenges. I couldn't catch
everything that was said and was likely to mention something that had
already been discussed, which regressed the conversation. And because
one participant in the call is a room and not someone close to a
microphone you end up having to treat it like a half-duplex connection
which significantly slows down discussion.
So while I enjoyed listening in and am very thankful for the opportunity
to have done so, it is not at all a substitute for being there.
So ideally the agenda would identify key missing stakeholders for
specific sessions, and try to patch them in. And in all cases, you must
make sure any discussion is documented and no decision is final, so that
excluded people can still chime in.
Regards,
