Remote participation in Conferences
This morning the Global Voices 06 Summit got off in New Delhi.
I was hoping to join in person, but that didn't happen. Well conferences now have IRC channels, streaming broadcasts and all, so maybe I thought all is not lost!
But the experience hasn't been very exciting so far and someone else expressed similar thoughts on the IRC. (Likely Ethan Zuckerman, but one can never tell from the nick alone.)
*** jace [n=jace@203.122.30.194] has quit [Nick collision from services.]
*** jace_ is now known as jace
*** Rosario [n=cb7a1ec2@spike.law.harvard.edu] has joined #globalvoices
<i-ange> LUG - linux user groups
*** FrancoGG left #globalvoices []
*** Delal_ [n=chatzill@203.122.30.194] has joined #globalvoices
<Guest605> My son is damn good at writing, Jeremy. Do you mind giving me a blog site for kids where he can join in?
<ethanz__> someday, one of these conferences will go so smoothly I can actually participate in it... :-)
*** ethanz [n=ethanz@203.122.30.194] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]
How does one participate remotely and yet be reasonably in the loop? I find it difficult even when physically present at conferences, what with all the simultaneous sessions.
Perhaps, the best bet is that people live blog and use the official tag.
