You may want to gather and compare statistics on event registrations (minus folks that didn't show up) instead of looking at potentially oversized rooms of university venues that were provided to organizers. There's many factors to consider - for example, have you checked how many tracks were running at the same time? > Let me know what the team thinks... I am not "the team", but having a chat on the stairs with a new contributor, a drink in the evening with other developers, or a football/volleyball match is less fun in front of my computer. Apart from cutting costs, none of the provided arguments are arguments for not having physical meetings. Instead they are arguments to also provide streaming and feedback channels for people not physically present, plus anybody can go ahead organize more online meetings if there's some advantage in having more online meetings. IMHO, things don't exclude each other. andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
