Hi everyone:
It's pretty clear that next Spring's Amber Developers' Meeting with be a
virtual one. I'm soliciting suggestions for how to make this as useful
as possible, and volunteers for helping with the organization.
1. Are there dates that are especially good or bad?
2. I personally favor shorter sessions (ca. 4 hours) over more dates,
as opposed to longer sessions on fewer dates, but am eager to hear what
others think about this.
3. We may not want to have 30+ talks, given the limited attention
span one gets on Zoom or similar platforms. I'm thinking that most
people could upload slides in advance. We would ask everyone to preview
those, and most of the actual meeting time could be devoted to questions
and discussion.
4. Please think hard about how we can increase gender and other
diversity in our development group. We should invite a few outside
folks to give invited talks, and suggestions for that are welcome.
5. Any other thoughts? I think we can just have a general discussion
on this mailing list. (Hit "delete" or create a spam filter if you
don't want the clutter in your in-box.) I'll summarize the discussion
later.
...thx....dac
