Hello,
Since WineConf this year didn't go anywhere due to the pandemic I'd
like to suggest a sort of virtual wineconf via any kind of video
chat system.
What would it be good for that the mailing list can't do? There are
some topics that are easier to discuss in person IMHO, when you
know people are listening. One topic of my concern is what to do
about GSoC. Having a keynote with a development recap of the past
would be a good thing too. Are there other topics of discussion?
What do you think?
I think it's an excellent idea.

CCing wineconf list
Hey,
I was co-hosting this year's XDC[0], and I definitely can help with
getting the online wineconf off the ground.
The best thing about a conference is just getting people in the same
place at the same time and having a bunch of presentations serving as a
catalyst for discussions. This doesn't even have to be a
voice-/video-chat.
IMO an IRC channel, possibly with a few bridges, is a good, core mean of
communication for our community. It worked well for XDC, which has
similar attendance. Then we can have a jitsi instance that people can
use for ad-hoc voice/video chats if they really feel like it.
We can also have a voice-/video-chat workshops for all the hot topics
that we know will generate a lot of discussion. We can have them as a
separate track or as a part of the main one, depending on the time
budget.
I can help with:
* hosting jitsi instances for people to dial in for talks, workshops, etc.
the workshop instance can stream directly which will serve later as a
VOD
* hosting and streaming the presentation track, possibly on one of the
established platforms like YouTube. It may not appeal to purists,
but it's hard to beat their CDNs. I have 1gbps down and 100mbps up
link + LTE fallback. I will be quite likely able to borrow an UPS
from a friend.
* handling the live Q&A
But ultimately it's up to you what you would like to see. I am still
fairly new to this community and I have never attended any of the
previous wineconfs.
Let me know what I can help you with.
