It may seem that I was complaining about Webex, but really the bulk of the issues were logistics-related. The way we do large rooms of in-person participation is hard to capture with a conference call system: managing local soundboards for all the microphones and dozens of on-site computers scattered in different rooms, trying to relay numerous streams over unstable network connections shared by hundreds of on-site attendees, and the fact that it ends up being a mostly one-way channel because making it possible for many remote attendees to interject successfully into in-person conversations probably requires a different style of discussion altogether. At a smaller scale, we've successfully conferenced-bridged a couple of remote participants into Infra team design summit sessions and mid-cycles where there were between 10 and 20 people on site, but that's substantially different from declaring the event is able to support an arbitrary number of remote attendees. I've seen it work out well in telepresence facilities, but not ad hoc installations for conferences of the size we're talking about. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
