Hey guys, does anybody have any news from Montreal? Did anything interesting happen or been decided?
Please share this info here if you have any. I have been very busy this weekend so I couldn't watch the live broadcast or listen to it on the YouTube. I am very interested by this and can't find anything.
Thanks!
I've only managed to look at the livestream for a hour or so. I did not like the quality of it either, and
occasionally there were some technical difficulties (no sound), which was not what I had expected. However, aside from that there were some great talks and some that we're not so great (with a controversial slide or two). The presentations were supposed to be not confrontational to the viewers, but okay.
The point of this workshop is (was) not for a decision to be found. It was rather more about presenting and discussing. Also, there is no concurrent problem and thus there is no need for a 'decision'. People will try to implement what they want. However, we've yet to see what the Core team is planning to do.
There was a guy called Mr Microphone who did a stand up comedy routine where he pretended his microphone was intermittently faulty. The intermittent lack of sound on the livestream made the conference technicians appear unprofessional at best, and Mr Microphone style comedic at worst. As most people choose to view the livestream rather than attend the conference the technical difficulties give the conference itself a bad appearance.
