Re: mic lines not working as well as they used to...

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

Hi,  I appreciate that adding myself to the mic queue is a problem for local
attendees.   It's not the activity, but the process.  The "lite" version
seems to complete die when my phone sleeps, which requires more than just a
browser refresh.   That's like 20s of fumbling.
I wound up in many WGs to just use the full version, which also helps with
the eye-chart slides.

a) So, we need something even more "lite", as in, just a static HTML page with a POST that won't die.

b) I think that chairs should be able to put people that they see, in the queue.

c) But, the BIGGEST *hurdle* to getting to the mic queue is literally the hurdles: the
*$#%(*@$#% chairs in my way.   (and the people in them)
   60% of the chairs are not being used.

   That is a combination of pandemic spacing, but also because people just don't want to
   get blocked in by others.  THIS IS NOT A NEW COMPLAINT.

   If we can't get the rooms better laid out to accomodate people walking around
   then maybe we can get those super-expensive mic-cubes.   LPC uses them to
   good effect... I think catchbox is one brand.  They aren't cheap though
   ($1000 each).

d) I'd sure like the chat/zulip to be displayed on the remote-speaker
   projector.  I know that some people dislike that, so maybe leave it up to
   the chair maybe.
