Hi <snip>
Поэтому давайте делиться мнениями, кто что думает: Проводить ли онлайн-версию конференции, или подождать до лучших времён с полноценными оффлайновыми LVEE?
LVEE without shashlyk doesn't count ;) I guess the word "полноценными" includes that idea. Frankly speaking I haven't gone through all the answers in Russian or Belorussian, so I might be repeating some arguments, sorry. From the Polish experience of suddenly going online with all schools I can absolutely agree with the opinion it can't be done 1:1. I would extrapolate this same conclusion to conferences. So a full day is in my opinion out of the question, not to mention few consecutive full days. This year's Open Source Summit/Embedded Linux Conference North America is 100% online. There still is a fee of 50 USD (instead of, say, 700). The difference in price reflects lower organization costs on the one hand, but I think on the other it is also an indicator of willingness of people to attend at all. The Linux Foundation must have thoroughly thought about a proper price tag. Pricing it more would scare the potential attendees off. Merely providing a live stream from a presenter doesn't really differ from publishing a film online for viewing at a later time. What would make a difference - and make people want to attend - is the feedback channel. So I envision the presenter doing a talk live and a moderator collecting and aggregating questions from irc or whatever, and then the presenter answers the questions live (also streamed) just after their talk. Of course these are opinions from a guy who is somewhat outside and should be considered only advisory.
