Thanks for this! Really useful to see how the experience went, and what worked as a speaker. I find the same issue with no audience feedback, but it is good to hear that you've already received mail directly. I guess the loss of in-person spontaneous questions is one downside - was there any "live Q&A" time via chat questions? I've seen that work quite well sometimes in past in-person CCCs, and imagine that it could work if people were watching synchronously. Perhaps in the world of async, we now need to focus more on the Q&A via email in slow-time, but therefore be able to have more meaningful interactions. All in all sounds like a pretty good experience, and interesting to see their approach to Jitsi in making this work! thanks

There was an opportunity to ask questions in the IRC. yet, just a couple of comments, no questions. It seems also compared to the next days there were rather few people in the chat (~100, now around ~500 - 600 ). Agree, usually the async feedback works usually quite well. I guess next time I per-record the talk and will engage in the chat myself. That's what Stelarc did during his Augmented Humans keynote (actually we, some friends of mine and me recorded his talk before the conference). Amazing artist and really nice person btw. He was in the chat during the playback and started answering questions, prepared answers for the Q&A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p44RVyD5Qt8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p44RVyD5Qt8

  Chat-based interaction certainly sounds like it could work for tech-focused events - I think for CCC one of the challenges is the sheer number of parallel talks, and keeping track of them. Pre-recorded talks definitely seems like the way to go and having participation in the chat for Q&A seems like it would work well for an engaged and "fast typing" audience. Thanks for your all your insights here - very useful to see what does and doesn't work for events. I think the move towards "hybrid" online and in-person events will be when it gets interesting.
