but it might not be easy...
emus
I meant, if folks want it, they can arrange via jitsi?
MattJ
But we don't have a "room" camera/microphone, Jitsi will just be on the laptop of whoever loads it
pep.
Maybe conference phones that can join a jitsi room?
MattJ
I attended an IETF meeting where this happened, and it was barely better than not being there at all
pep.
fwiw I feel when there's a mix of remote and local it's often gonna feel awkward for remote users. People in the room often forget and as a remote user it's hard to follow
MattJ
Indeed
daniel
I was considering bringing my mirror less + shotgun mic + tripod setup that I sometimes use for video calls. that would probably be slightly better than a webcam
MattJ
But it can be better than not being there at all
daniel
but in a conference setup that would be entirely untested
pep.
daniel, you sound like you're from the future
MattJ
Yeah, I have an 360° USB mic I could contribute to a setup (+ camera + tripod + HDMI capture), but the less I have to bring the better
daniel
has board greenlit the funds?

My recommendation is:
create topics & connected mucs. so if someone has points in the muc or so, you can at least have a session an talk. just suggest to join
MattJ
emus, there is a summit MUC that we use
MattJ
People usually relay stuff to/from there with the room, and I don't think that will be any different this year (of course it's a lot less useful unless remote attendees at least have a way to listen to the room)
emus
MattJ: So you want me to advertise this muc?
daniel
emus: it's already linked from the wiki page
emus
Im getting confused, we are talking about a different muc than this? I don't see it in this link
daniel
xmpp:summit@muc.xmpp.org?join
daniel
scam is organizing the event. Summit is participating in the event
daniel
Not just remote participation by the way. Traditionally it has also been used to coordinate around the event "I'm taking the train at 11:13" "who wants to meet for drinks"

why are we so bad at advertising...
MattJ
What are we bad at advertising?
emus
I havent seen this chat yet 😅
emus
But maybe the problem is me :)
MattJ
It's used for a few days each year, I don't think that's a big problem
emus
Yeah, but we should use it in advance already
MattJ
For what?
emus
Advertising and getting participants attention and "collecting" them at one spot
however, I thought it was here
daniel
Scam is the team that organizes the event

I’m not trying to gate keep summit too much but I think in it's current form it's very much a conference for the people who write (and to some degree for the people who implement) the spec. Letting the wider public (end users) know that the summit is happening is important because it signals that we are an active community. but we don’t need them to actively participate in the event (or join any MUCs)

I understood, but didnt know there is a chat for the venue directly
daniel
The wiki page is a bit cluttered. Once we have a venue I intent to clean the page up a little bit
emus
Ok, für next years planning Id call for starting in november 2023 please

Before I sign-up for the Google Summer of Code Meet Saturday night - don't we want to go and hang out together somewhere? 😃️ I think that could be very nice, too.
