Re: [111attendees] test

Ted:

Everything you are concerned about will IMHO have complete
different (not necessarily better, just different) outcomes
when we would have only 300 on-site attendees and 800 remote.

For example, i already notice that there is often a lot of
side discussions on chat. Sometimes good, sometimes derailing.
This will definitely become a lot more with a
300/700 split. How to get the most out of that ? At minimum
i am thinking to start interjecting such chats with comments
like "interesting thought, would you mind making that
clean & pithy and add it to the etherpad notes if you don;t
bring it up on the mike". Or publishing the chat at the end
of the etherpad minutes ? 

And yes, i do still worry about remote audio quality.

Cheers
    Toerless
