[Board] EGU Data Help Desk

[Suchith Anand]

Hi all,

The  Virtual Help Desk at EGU conference is an excellent initiative. I have also shared this information to the various lists .

By having remote/virtual participation options at future FOSS4G conferences will help also widen participation for economically poor students worldwide to join the conferences , learn and present their work.   Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Astrid,
thanks for retweeting ! This years EGU Data Help Desk is a learning experience ( first time that its done via chat, like the whole conference), but things are looking good and there is a lot of participation overall. I will report back after EGU and update the wiki page for lessons learned.

One observation which might be of interest for future FOSS4G events: A growing number of presenters not just uploaded their presentation slides to the conference size (to complement the text-based abstract), but a video recording of the presentation slides with a voice-over narration.

This could be an option to allow for "socially distanced participation" to avoid travel and lower the carbondioxide-footprint of an event.

Best,
Peter
