I was one of those remote presenters (the DISPATCH session).  I decided
to cancel my presentation rather than attempt it remotely.

This was only in part due to the difficulties in being remote, but they
were a factor: in particular, the total lack of information on how
remote participation would work, what I would need at my end, and the
fact that WebEx won't work from my normal Linux work environment.  I was
not able to find any information at all (despite repeated requests) on
how I could test anything in advance.

There were other contributing factors - I'm not blaming my decision to
cancel on the poor support for remote presentation, but it was very
poor.
