<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’ve enjoyed conferences that have run over longer time but shorter sessions at a time – e.g. C3DIS for 2 hours a day for 3 weeks, just dialled into those talks that were of interest (which actually
ended up being longer than originally scheduled in the F2F conference). I am definitely in favour of avoiding long periods in front of the webcam. Holding it over a longer period also allows you to find times that best suit all attendees, e.g. maybe there’s
only 2-3 hours in the work day that covers the whole Oceania region, but all talks could be scheduled in that band over a number of weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey Oceanian FOSS4G folks<br>
<br>
I wanted to share this from the upcoming QGIS North America event. It's scheduled over 3 days, but each day is separated by a week (ie, 3 successive fridays). What do you think about this type of schedule for an online Oceania event?<br>
<br>

Hope all is well,<br>
