FYI online webinars organised dy QGIS  mexico user groups have the following 
setup (all video are available here 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd223Om2zRQdsU1ghRz_zQ/videos yesterday live 
is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd223Om2zRQdsU1ghRz_zQ/videos)

- Jitsi meet for speakers
- a Streamer person to who all speakers ar connected with Jitsi meet.
- The streamer person, with a good laptop and good upload network, use OBS to 
stream his jitsi window + audio directly to a video streaming platform (they 
use youtube)
Attenders chat and interact using the streaming platform chat, but they can use 
telegram or something else, but having in the same streaming platform can allow 
playback having chat recorded
- Every one can enter in jitsi meet (e.g voice questions with or without video) 
just rising hand => the moderator (e.g. the streamer person) pass him the 
conference link (shared privatly) to connect to the conf.
- an alternative audio setup with really low latency just for question and 
discussion is using mumble.

IMHO for a conference there are really good FOSS alternatives to Zoom o other 
proprietary stuffs.

We (Spanish QGIS user group) are plannign AGM next month using similar setup... 
adding voting stuffs or via Telegram/polls or via others as star.vote...

some tools listed in: 
https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/how-to-livestream-a-conference-in-just-under-a-week
and especially in: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Remote_Communication

Trying a second time because the first post did not seem to get through

Hi

A couple of weeks back the OSGeo:UK team (Jo Cook, Dave Barter, Steven Feldman, 
Alastair Graham, Antony Scott and Matt Travis) mentioned on twitter that we 
were trying to put together an online FOSS4G event.

We are delighted to now formally announce that we will be running FOSS4GUK 
Online on 17th June.

This will be an online-only event intended to give us a little FOSS4G fix while 
we are in, or just coming out of, lock-down. It will be a chance to share some 
of the work we’ve been doing during (or in spite of) this strange time, as well 
as a useful experiment in how we can run online conferences alongside our face 
to face events in the future.

We hope that the online format will allow our community across the UK and from 
further afield to participate from their desktops whether it is for the whole 
day or dipping in and out for an hour or two. We want to make the online event 
as interactive and engaging as possible so we are open to your suggestions via 
the Call for Presentations.

Technology
We have decided to use zoom to run this event, we looked at most of the 
alternatives (open and proprietary) and we concluded that zoom offered the best 
platform for us to run this event in terms of stability, scalability, features 
and ease of use for delegates and admins. We have tested on Linux, Mac, 
Windows, Android and iOS. It is also very reasonably priced so we are able to 
run the event as a free event for hundreds of delegates, we will probably 
encourage delegates to make a charitable donation but that will not be 
mandatory.

Call for Presentations
We welcome technical talks, demos, user stories (particularly ones about the 
use of FOSS4G tech during the Covid19 crisis), thought pieces... In fact we 
welcome any talks that are based on Open Source Geo and are not pushing a sales 
message.

We will also be offering a small number of workshops (ca 90 minutes) which will 
need to be instruction style rather than fully interactive.

Our call for 
presentations<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_1Hs7RGp1sx7sPAB2KMBanDW36ELkxHJE8nl5_3iMnVivjg/viewform>
 has been extended until the 18th May, we hope you give us a hard choice 
choosing what to include in the programme.

Volunteering
We need volunteers to help in the planning and build-up stages and also to help 
on the big day. If you would like to get involved please fill in the 
Volunteering 
form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6pVdrMBN4BYw6pEfjPXD8z_oRMZWxQ-tvsh2mrwTcn8aP8Q/viewform>
 and we will get in touch as the needs arise.

We would welcome people to assist in programming, marketing, web stuff, design, 
responding to delegate enquiries, video editing skills, experience of running 
large meetings or events on zoom and possibly streaming to youtube. Tell us 
what you can do and we will get back to you

Right now, we need a FOSS4GUK Online logo that incorporates the traditional 
FOSS4G ribbon<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook#Logo>. Please send us 
your ideas.

That’s it for now folks, we look forward to your presentation and workshop 
submissions, your offers of help and most of all seeing you online at FOSS4GUK 
online on 17th June.

We will keep posting formal updates on this list, there will be a new event 
website at uk.osgeo.org<http://uk.osgeo.org> in a few days and look out for 
lots of activity on our twitter account @OSGeoUK<https://twitter.com/osgeouk>

May the FOSS be with you
