- rwmj 3y agoI've definitely been to many FOSDEM talks where the room was too full and they weren't letting any more people enter.
- NeutralForest 3y agoToday the JS devroom if way too full and the sound in the container devroom makes it very hard to understand the speakers :/ Everyone is very nice and helpful though
- ghaff 3y agoI haven't been to FOSDEM since pre-COVID but the last once or twice I went I pretty much came to the conclusion that the only sensible strategy (especially given the availability of recordings) was to pick a devroom with talks/people you were mostly interested in and hang there. Trying to hop from session to session was just a recipe for frustration. At the end of the day, there are probably twice the number of people than the various facilities can really support.
- dfc 3y agoHow does a livestream help make something accessible when the microphone is terrible?
- NeutralForest 3y agoI was mostly thinking about when rooms are too full but if the audio is recorded properly, it's still better than nothing and also I'm not sure if the sound was bad in some rooms because of the mic or because of the loud speakers; a recording might be better in the second case I suppose.
