[FOSS4G-UK] Lessons Learned document

[Nick Bearman]

Hi Dan,

Thanks very much. You are quite correct.

However I feel we shouldn't completely rule out the option of some 
online element - in the feedback I saw although we didn't have many 
people online, they were very keen and even people who attended in 
person were keen on some online element.

It's a tricky balance, and I am trying to keep everyone happy all of the 
time! Ha ha! Also we are not necessarily committing to anything for next 
year now, but I want to show we are keeping the door open.

How about this slight re-phrasing:

"We had a good discussion at our debrief meeting and are planning to 
reduce the streaming options next year and most likely use a commercial 
supplier if we do any live streaming. We feel an online element is 
important but the current arrangements are too complex to justify the 
time and effort involved. We are open to suggestions for next year and 
will revisit this then."

Let me know what you think. Hopefully I can post this up later today / 
next few days.

Best wishes,
Nick.
