We've have experienced that rooms that are meeting rooms might have working
meetecho, but the problem is that we don't have any meetecho supervision at
the time.
I continue to think that BarBOFs should happen in a bar, and that the side
meeting phenomenon with remote participation is the result of over-scheduling
of participants.
If you want to have a virtual BOF, then have one, just don't try to cram it
into the week. If you want to make use of high-bandwidth in-person
discussion to make a small design team work better, then do that, but don't
pretend that remote participants can really participate in such a thing.
Take good minutes, and run decisions by the group.
Conferencing systems are widely available for a variety of prices (including
gratis, having no SLA).
