Just discovered that the CCC community back home is organizing a digital distributed online event this Easter. #DIVOC
Even if I'm 9 timezones away, which makes it not so easy to watch or participate in real time, it feels a little bit like home. Thanks! <3
I would love for distributed/online conferences to figure out how to emulate more than just talks and Q&A.
For example, what do a hallway track, a lounge, or even a social event look like?
I'm glad the CCC community is experimenting with such things.
I mean, at #IETF107, which was moved online, they had a #hallway Jabber room, which sorta worked: I saw someone write something, wrote them a direct message, and we chatted a bit.
But the "hallway" virtual conference room didn't really work, I think. I joined after a session and there wasn't anyone there. Probably others would experience the same.
Another thing I saw which I thought was cool:
Someone just posted that they'd host a videoconference at a specific date and time, and everyone who wants to catch up can just join that conference.
