Yes, given the size of the keynote venue the procedure definitely saved some time. Time was usually in short supply at the end of the keynotes so any time saving meant that at least some questions got asked. The other advantage is that with the questions written down, they could be passed on to the speaker for them to respond to off-line. This was of course mentioned at the end of the keynotes (although I note in passing that such responses haven't been posted yet, there would be good reasons for this). The new system clearly provides an avenue for more people to have their questions addressed by the keynote speaker, which can only be a good thing.

Encouraging input into the conversation from people who aren't "the usual suspects" should be part of an overall strategy to promote diversity at LCA, IMHO. Moderated asynchronous question-asking is perfect for this. :-) I /would/ like to see the complete list of questions for each keynote published however, probably with the requestors' names removed since consent for attributed publication wasn't sought in advance. There is likely much food for thought in the unasked questions. Paraphrasing by orgs before publication would further anonymise the questions. If there wasn't a large number of questions submitted, perhaps orgs could even re-open tickets to request permission to publish?although the orgs should all be taking a well-deserved break by now. :-) Cheers, Jessica -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
