[routing-wg] Call for Presentations - RIPE 82

< apologies for ranting >

i definitely can not speak for peter.  but it feels as if i spend an
average of three hours a day on multi-continent zoom or jitsi 'calls'
with folk doing live presentations, not counting conferences.  yes,
there are gl!tches, as much from human causes as from technology.  if i
am really really lucky, i sometimes get to see a two year old!  but
aren't we all used to it?

and i am a bit tired of "next slide please" at conferences hosted by
folk hoping we can make everything appear perfect in these quite un-
perfect times.

i normally would not weigh in on this one; but i am quite unfond of
pre-recorded talks.  if it is really good, i'll catch it next month on
youtube or whatever.  i want as close to live talks with open mics as i
can get.  i want live interaction with other funny monkeys, as i can
not be with them in person.

otoh, if someone is uncomfortable presenting live and prefers to pre-
record, i bow to their personal preference.  this is all hard enough on
folk already.

i suspect peter's point was that, if the internet does not work well
for this, well aren't we the ones who are responsible for fixing it?
