Dear,
>From my point of view, it could be nice to organize a 2 days virtual in
October or November. Because it could be great to meet, discuss, solve
some issues, share progress or blocking points, etc.. More importantly,
it is also a good occasion to do a repeat in case the FOSDEM would be
canceled or replaced and the Guix Days would become virtual.

Some ideas about a Virtual Event are:
a. Hack together on stuff
b. While also having some presentations
c. Smaller discussion and working groups
Some tools:
i. Jitsi
ii. BigBlueButton
iii. stream via m3u reading with vlc or mpv
iv. asciinema for pair programming
v. voice chat, mumble
vi. Emacs server for pair programming
Issues about tools:
i) weak machine or browser crash; bad experiences
ii) does it scale for ~50 participants
iii) infrastructure?
iv) broadcasting?
>From LibrePlanat [1], I do not see what was the point a). And I am not
sure that a) and c) will be easy to setup for a first try.
Recently, we had the national French conference JDEV [2] and they
switched from an in-real-life week to a full streamed event. In the
coming days, I will ask them their feedback; especially about the tools
and the infrastructure.
If someone knows someone who someone who… well if someone has experience
on streaming event, please share. :-)
In terms of date, I think that the days Friday and Saturday are good
choice. And if I have to pick one, I would say: 6-7 November, from 9:30
to 18:00 CEST. We can compute a median for the timezone and pick one
fairer. :-)
In terms of presentations, we could send a Call for Presenting, and I
have topic such as Installer, Hurd, Authentication, SWH, Maven build
system, Data Service, Outreachy and GSoC, etc. so much more :-) and the
format could be pre-recorded videos or live demo.
The difficulty is to manage the question-answers.
Please tell me what do you think?
Cheers,
simon
