RE: Kudos to MeetEcho

["Peter Yee" <peter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I participated in the session that Chris chaired and my perceptions were similar to his. Everything went quite well and that was my first use of MeetEcho (I missed out on the test session). My second session was also pretty good. There were some minor issues with the third session I’m currently in, but that seems to be down to lack of experience and preparation, not so much the tool.

While there has been a lot of progress since 107, it is clear from the first couple of sessions that there are still a many rough edges that are wasting a lot of WG time.  We should take a serious look at whether it's worth investing more in refining this tool, or whether a more standard tool would be appropriate.

I just want to say that I finished chairing a WG this morning and to say kudos to MeetEcho. Since it seems all I do is spend time in (many different) video conferencing apps, I think the updates to MeetEcho for the full virtual meeting are VERY impressive in the time from “Vancouver” till now.

It went smoother than I would have thought. I think MeetEcho did an amazing job. Thanks to them and all the leadership making the tooling work for this meeting.

There is the human problem of people reading the Jabber chat continuously during the meeting, because it really is now multiple stream communications during the meeting. If I knew the human / UI fix to that, I would suggest it, I don’t. I chair a small working group, so we can multitask that way. Large working groups will like have to the use the queue more formally than we did - with the chairs possibly voicing the jabber room.
