First off, I think you all did a fantastic job. I felt that things ran very smoothly and, as far as the talks themselves go, I think it went almost as smoothly as an in-person XDC. I'm really quite impressed. I do have a couple pieces of more nuanced feedback: 1. I think we were maybe a bit too scared of overloading jitsi. Having more people in the instance for questions might have made that portion go better. As it was, there was only one or two talks that had any live questions. That said, there are a few advantages to having things funneled through IRC, the most obvious of which being that people can ask their question mid-talk and have it handled at the end instead of having to remember it for 20 minutes. 2. I really miss the hallway track. On Thursday, after the conference, Bas, Connor, and I used jitsi to have a chat about ray-tracing. That was really fun and I wish I'd done something like that every day of XDC. Maybe it's my own fault for not setting up said chats but I think it could have been made more accessible (I had no idea how to fork off a jitsi instance) and/or encouraged somehow. --Jason On Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 3:07 AM Samuel Iglesias Gonsálvez <siglesias@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Huge thanks again to the entire team from Intel, for their great work > organizing XDC 2020, our first virtual conference! > > As usual we're looking for feedback on both XDC itself, and the CFP > process and program selection.
