[Linux-aus] Announcing Everything Open - Conference 2023

[Joel Addison]

Everything Open is being held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 14-16 2023. Note that Monday 13 March is a public holiday in Naarm, and we would like to encourage everyone to explore Melbourne, catch up with friends and see the city, prior to attending the conference.

My response below is regarding remote access options for those who do not wish to attend in person, something we recognise will apply to several members of our community.

We have used online question mechanisms a couple of times now, both online and at past in person events, and we are looking to do similar this time. We are still working through all of the logistics of this, and will have more to say closer to ticket sales opening.

Realtime voice questions are mostly trash noise as few people maintain a sound booth for voice interaction. Realtime text questions through the right software work as the presenter can organise questions to fit the presentation and group similar questions.
