On one hand, for the exact same reasons you explain; on the other hand, streaming could reduce the interactivity or mitigate the impulse for the attendees to take the floor. At the end, technical details spoke by themselves. I do not know when (or if) physical events such as pre-FOSDEM Guix Days will happen in the near future. For sure, the historical place in Brussels where these pre-FOSDEM Guix Days are organized does not have a network able to support streaming. Since this historical place would not change* “soon”, first because we like it (I speak for myself) and second because it is accommodating, ideas to deal with poor network are welcome. :-) Personally, I am lacking imagination for that but I am sure that Guixers around will find a neat hack to fix it. :-) All the best, simon *change: I have never been part of the organizing team, but that’s my feelings.
