The logic in jabber for folks to move an offtopic discuss to a different place is not ideal. There is no option to quickly open some channel wgname_disuss1 or the like. Other chat systms have no limitations to quickly create channels with arbitrary names. Probably a bit too strict setups on the IETF jabber.

I liked the side conversations on jabber, they were the only social element of this IETF, but at times (not always) they went beyond commenting what the current speaker was saying, and started being separate complex technical conversations, and at that point it became impossible to focus at the same time on the presentation and on the side discussion. Sometimes it felt like the actual session was going on in jabber, and the set of slowly changing slides with spoken comment (which in a videoconference are bound to be boring anyway) had become almost a background noise; perhaps that was not the intended effect. > > This was compounded by the fact that in my timezone it was night and I had already been working all day before the IETF sessions even started, and this for multiple days, so I was possibly also a bit tired. > > -- > > Vittorio Bertola | Head of Policy & Innovation, Open-Xchange > vittorio.bertola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Office @ Via Treviso 12, 10144 Torino, Italy -- --- tte@xxxxxxxxx
