Yeah I think people tested my current instance with up to 5 people for several hours. Afaik the expected bottleneck on the server is the internet link. From what I read, often the client side is running into load problems with increased number of participants, especially with Firefox. Apparently their WebRTC implementation is not as optimized as desired.
We should certainly test before the event, and probably I could optimize some more things on my instance (if that is the bottleneck). Possible alternatives would surely be Mumble or Teamspeak (no video streaming, but certainly works for large crowds, I used to use both). Maybe we should ask presenters to put their slides into LaTex Beam PDF or HTML format (navigating with arrow keys, e.g. https://ptrace.fefe.de/hype2 ). Would have the nice side effect that then it can be downloaded and viewed at individual speed. On the other hand, there should be a way to clearly communicate on which slide the presenter is, without having to tell it every slide. Could be a little pil app with a special login for the presenter to select the currently active slide. - beneroth On 22.04.20 07:43, Jean-Christophe Helary wrote: > >> On Apr 22, 2020, at 14:00, Alexander Burger <a...@software-lab.de> wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> yesterday the Oktoberfest, the largest annual event in Bavaria, was canceled. >> >> I think we will also have to cancel the other large event, PilCon.
