[onap-tsc] Remote Participation at the Porto DTF

[Heather Kirksey]

Dear Communities,

We are getting numerous requests for our June Developer and Testing Forum
to be a hybrid event. We understand why: some geographies are still
experiencing surges, corporate travel policies remain conservative, and
some community members are not yet ready to travel. These are all valid.

The answer is, sadly, that we can’t. Bluntly, enabling a hybrid event would
incur about a full 30% increase in total cost for what is a free event. We
cannot do this and remain fiscally responsible. Additionally, it’s not a
great experience for either on-site or remote participants.

As Unix philosophy states, “Do one thing and do it well.”

Since Unix philosophy also asserts the "need to work together,” LFN staff
have come up with some adhoc solutions to enable community participation that
will be provided on an unmanaged, self-serve, best effort basis.  Please
note that last sentence and note it well. We can enable but not ensure
remote participation.

Here is what it looks like:


   -

   Zoom bridges will be allocated to all of the rooms just as we have
   always done, with these caveats:



   -

   All devices will be on the same Wifi network, including the
   presenter/facilitator slide show (i.e., subject to venue Wifi and public
   internet considerations) – there will be no managed network for presenter
   laptops.



   -

   We cannot guarantee integration into the in-room microphone and A/V
   set-up. Attendees can obviously use things like USB speakers to aid in
   listening to discussions, but obviously quality will be best-effort. This
   may work fine for small breakout sessions but will likely be inadequate for
   larger rooms.

   -

   Did I say Best Effort? That means there will not be full onsite
   technical support to troubleshoot audio or other issues related to remote
   connectivity. Please do not confuse your community architects with onsite
   IT. :)




   -

   Consider the experience of those on-site. Half an hour spent asking “Can
   you hear me now” is a poor use of time for those humans sitting together in
   a room halfway around the world. Nor does it advance our work.



   -

   We are setting up one virtual-only track for folks to use as they see
   fit.
   -

  No meeting rooms will be assigned to virtual-only sessions. If folks
  on-site elect to attend a virtual-only presentation, they can simply join
  the associated zoom session just like any other zoom call on any
day of the
  week.

  -

  The program committee will not take virtual-only sessions into
  account during their scheduling and planning. Please do not
expect them to
  move things around to accommodate a conflict between an on-site and
  virtual-only session. Be kind to your programming committee.

  -

  Virtual-only sessions still require a Topic Page and the following
  all of the traditional ground rules.

  -

  Scheduling  a virtual-only session is first-come,
  first-served. Simply add your session to the wiki page:
  https://wiki.lfnetworking.org/x/pa4ZB


As our event team works with the venue and A/V team, we will let you know
if anything changes.

Finally, one last bit of Unix philosophy: “Economy and elegance of design
through resource constraints.” The pandemic lockdowns started suddenly, but
we find that they’re not ending that way. Connecting in-person again turns
out to be bumpy and sometimes painful. We’re all doing our best, as a set
of communities under constraints. This can either be a source of conflict
or a source of creativity. Our choice. None but ours.

I appreciate everyone’s optimism, flexibility, and patience at this time as
we all figure it out.

Heather
