1. To setup quality coverage, is hard and (i think) expensive (news media company needed). Hackers with webcams, where nothing can be seen and heard, isn't that i expect in the 21th century, the century of the telecommunication. 2. It's believed to be "high bandwidth" discussion, and i think it's much better, than slides, talk, (?wtf was in)Q/(here's your)A. Because this may obligate you to think fast, to think what you (invited person) say, and say what you think. 3. As for everyone, who listen English speech only in Hollywood movies (yea, that's me, and i'm writing this to you now ;), such kind of conversation with fights, debates, etc. is a worth material. (I don't want to compare this to _some_ scientific confs, where people reading their mouney-has-been-spent-OK reports). > It mainly involves ppl sitting around tables talking about stuff with > some mics... I think we could hold KS as an open non-invite event if > it wasn't attached to a major conference and was held somewhere no-one > wants to go :-) 4. If there will be good ideas and real items for TODOs, technical details, fun, etc. why not to share it? Do you have something to hide, or you think, after seeng that, some employer will shrink somebody's travel budget (:? I think Linux Kernel has just became mature, as its long-time developers have. And i think, mini/maxi conferences must become more mature ether. And donig paper work here, like slides, abstracts, articles, isn't a first requirement (again, after the end of the Cold War, cheap PC, Microsoft Word in the Windows, the most scientific work had finallt became A Paper Work (patent pending)). AFAIK Linus doen't like this either, rather than to (verbally) discuss things. Maybe [1] isn't that companies, like Red Hat, will like to do, because, this is part of their paid business, but [2]-[4] may have more weight against this. > Dave. ____ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
