[FOSS4G-Oceania] conference planning idea..

[Trenham, Claire (O&A, Black Mountain)]

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.

I think that could work.

Locate conference has been running for 2 hours three successive days, which works well too, I think.

10 minute presentations too... which is good for web conference, where attention is short!

Hey Oceanian FOSS4G folks

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?

Hope all is well,

Adam
