This page will eventually become the page for ?DebConf20 Online, a contingency plan that the DebConf video team is working on in the event that the current ?DebConf20 plans or cancelled/postponed.

Things to consider

Take aways from MDCO

During 30+31 May, we hosted an online MiniDebConf.

Some things that we learned:

1. We're always going to have some issues with remote participants having connection problems, electricity cutouts or way underspecced computers. The problems didn't have an impact on our ability to host the conference, but it can be nice to have some backup amusements ready for small cutouts. In one case, our speaker didn't realise that his house lost power, and kept on talking for 10 minutes while not being on stream, might be nice to have a seperate communication channel available (like phone/signal/etc) to keep in touch with a speaker if they go lost.
