Following some of the spirit of open source, perhaps it could make sense to encourage companies/speakers to make recordings of these kind of discussions available under Creative Commons licenses?
(that might also help to discourage these events from being used as disguised recruitment / interview / feature-request sessions)
- simonw 5y agoThat could be valuable, yeah. Big extra value for the company who get to promote it (and themselves) online, and value for the open source project too for the same reasons. Would have to be figured out on a case-by-case basis though - I imagine some companies may want to be able to discuss private details in the Q&A that they don't want to go out in a video.
- jka 5y agoAgreed; and similarly, some developers might not want to participate on that kind of basis. (this is one of the things I worry about most, with regards to open source funding: I think there needs to be a lot of space for negotiation and different work and communication styles. I hear a lot of suggestions that reduce down to paying people money, and I think that's a simplification that could end up annoying people and wasting time, effort and productivity. not a criticism of your suggestion, more of a broader observation about the way that open source funding conversations are progressing)
