Hi, at this years LibreOffice conference, I gave a talk about a very, very specific technical topic on Writer internals. I assume maybe a dozen souls were really the right target audience for it. I dont think the talk was a waste of time, as I hope it still is very helpful for these folks.
Still, I can imagine an unsuspecting audience member being turned off by the talk as it gave little to build from for someone new on the project. I wonder if for the next conference, we should (self-?)label at least technical talks as e.g. "beginner" or "advanced". With that, when scheduling the conference we can take this into account and allow at least one talk in a slot to be suitable for newcomers to the project AND we can explicitly mark those talk in the program, which should help onboarding a lot. Looking at the schedule and the other talks, I assume I wasnt alone in having a tech talk only suitable for a small subset of attendees (but I will try to do better next time: An onboarding talk for a wider audience usually is less work than a deeply specific one for a small expert audience). (Marketing ML isnt the best fit for this topic, but as next years conference is far off, I considered it my best bet.
