**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 04 02:59:57 2020 May 04 07:17:32 good morning May 04 18:32:46 i hate to say this out loud in case LF decides to not post the videos afterwards, but the #1 reason for going to ELC is to meet everyone face-to-face, the pub nights, and the hallway track May 04 18:33:17 i can always watch the talks later when i get back home since the videos are usually posted (barring rogue LF admins deleting the videos....) May 04 18:34:33 if ELC is going to be virtual this year, are there any advantages to registering? i might as well just wait for the talks to be posted May 04 18:35:06 tlwoerner: The talks can be interactive, so if you want to ask questions you can May 04 18:35:39 They also said they are going to try to do some sort of "virtual vendor booth" May 04 18:37:00 But, I suspect they realize that this is one of the main reasons people come which is why they've lowered the registration fee to $50 May 04 18:37:02 oh yea, good point. it's hard to get sponsors without the vendor booths to go along with them May 04 18:49:21 OTOH, i might just throw in the $50 and see what happends those three days May 04 18:50:31 i keep thinking about some form of virtual OE community event, but no proper idea how it should look like so far. May 04 19:18:18 LetoThe2nd: the virtual OE event was last week! i think you missed it :-( May 04 19:18:41 i'm hoping there are plans for another one, maybe once a month May 04 19:18:44 tlwoerner: parental leave + bad timing :( May 04 19:18:44 Crofton|road: ^ May 04 19:19:15 * tlwoerner wonders if there's ever a "good" time to have kids.... lol ;-) May 04 19:20:01 nah, i meant the even was at a time of the day where i have other duties. May 04 19:22:34 two earlier or later and i would probably have joined. May 04 19:25:31 so the thing we have to think of is how to cover into the PAcific May 04 19:25:37 fir happy hour May 04 20:38:00 I can in principle do 'late' my time, but there is not much overlap with AU or NZ May 04 20:39:57 9pm utc ? aka 2pm pacific ? May 04 23:19:01 dl9pf: probaly need to find somone else to host a meeting May 05 00:29:32 I can still setup the Zoom. I don't need to be present for it to work. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 05 02:59:57 2020
