sadly, too many of us remember writing on scrolls of acetate. i
imagine that some remember stone and chisels.
ok, just for a gedanken experiment of one extreme,
o remove the projector. [ omg! how will we show the note hell? ]
o if there is an active draft that *really* needs f2f discussion,
allocate time to discussing it. if it does not *clearly* need
face-time, discuss it on the mailing list.
o no one is at the mic in front because there is no mic in front.
o if folk really need to see a diagram, that is why the $dieties
invented laptops. the few people who do not have laptops have
those new-fangled tablet thingies.
o if someone has not read the draft, stay seated and shut up.
o if someone wants to float a new idea worth describing, then give
them five or ten minutes on the agenda to ask others for input,
no preso/ppt.
