Well, I do think that if the slides were available to be posted ahead of time, the chairs could make sure they are appropriate, sufficiently few in number, in the right font, etc., and the participants who want to could look at the slides in advance. To be honest, posting slides ahead of time is not rocket science and wen it doesn't happen it is often (barring the usual excuses) pretty unprofessional. Am I being overly smug? Adrian Aren't all the slides posted in the meeting materials at least 24 hours ahead of time to allow us to download them, use our own preferred tools, struggle with English not being our native language, and so on? Well, MINE were in TSVAREA, but that's not always true. I sat in one meeting that had no slides uploaded at all. Not naming names, because the responsible person supervising that meeting was sitting in front of me, and was also noticing that lack of meeting materials. Alternatively, if we were going to tell people it's a good plan to listen to the audio and try to stay synchronized on their own copies of the slides, we could save the Meetecho people a lot of aggravation, and ISOC a fair amount of money. But let's not do that, OK? |
