[kwlug-disc] Remote vs local meetings, five months in

> Subject: [kwlug-disc] Remote vs local meetings, five months in

First off, it's been five months?  So, I've missed ⅖ of them... Time flies.


> How have the hybrid meetings been going for people?

It's definitely less engaging. Kind of a second class citizen feeling.


> What is irritating?

The conversation in the room being picked up by the mic.

Maybe it would help if the presenter had a dedicated mic (this may 
already be the case).


> What is working well?

I seem to recall suggestions of having the presenter read out questions 
before answering them.

This worked well from what I remember.


The meetings are still among my favourites, so I just want to encourage 
you to keep going and express appreciation for the work you do to 
organize things.



> What/how should we improve?

Better audio.  i.e. some kind of directional mic on the presenter.

Having no idea how it's currently setup, I can only speculate if this is 
a solution.



(Edited to add: I now see I somehow replied to Cranky's message but only 
Paul's comments. Can't disagree with Cranky's thoughts.)


Thanks again,
