I couldn't find a place on the web-site for feedback about the 2022 (virtual) LibrePlanet conference so I'm posting it here. My apologies if I'm out of line. Obviously, all this is strictly my personal opinion. On the up-side: The topics for this year's LibrePlanet were great. I frequently wanted to watch more than one at once. This is one reason I too am looking forward to being able to stream the recorded talks. I think at least one reason they were of such interest to me is that "Living Liberation" 100% (reaching the top of the Freedom Ladder) has eluded me for decades. So, naturally, talks about subjects related to getting there were/are of great interest to me. On the down-side: I have a 1.2Gbps Internet connection (in CO, USA) which I've measured via https://www.speedtest.net/ at between 800Mbps and 900Mbps down, and 30Mbps to 40Mbps up. Despite this, the connection for LibrePlanet couldn't keep up with real-time video resulting in frequent pauses for "buffering". Manually pausing to force buffering more data would help for a while, but inevitably playback would empty the buffer once again resulting in frequent pauses. This appeared to be equally prevalent for hi-res and low-res streams/connections. By mid-afternoon (EDT) I couldn't stand it anymore and gave up with a headache. I skipped Sunday entirely. I saw some traffic about this issue on IRC but it mostly seemed aimed a people with slow Internet connections. Not the case here. Anyway, I'm hoping streaming the recorded talks will work better. Another reason I was curious about the answer to the original question in the "access to talks" thread. Finally: Lest anyone think I'm now "down" on virtual LibrePlanet, I'm not! For now, virtual is the only way I can expect to attend. I'm incredibly grateful to _everybody_ involved in making this happen: FSF personnel, presenters, other attendees, and everybody else who in any way contributed! I'm already looking forward to next year. :) Cheers Leland -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leland C.
