Re: [111attendees] So, what are jabber scribes actually doing, these days?

["Andrew G. Malis" <[e-mail]>]

Spencer,

I chaired a session yesterday. I had a separate jabber session up on a
second screen (using a jabber client, not Meetecho) while I was running the
slides and the queue in Meetecho on my main screen. I also had a co-chair
monitoring the chat while I ran everything else. Kind of clucky that you
need a separate screen to see everything simultaneously, but the Meetecho
interface would probably need a major redesign to fit both the queue and
the chat simultaneously.

Getting back to your original question, I suspect that once we're back to
in-person meetings (or hybrid meetings where the chairs are local to the
session), the need for an in-person jabber reporter (if not scribe) will
return. With multiple chairs, a co-chair could take the role of jabber
reporter. Given that everyone remote now has complete access to the in-room
audio and video, I suspect that we no longer need a full-blown scribe
taking notes as the meeting progresses.

Cheers,
Andy
