Re: Possible planning for new tech talk

So, to be clear, notes first and then meeting? I'm not sure I agree that's the best way to ramp up but if that's the general feeling I can do things that way.

As I've said I don't currently anticipate attending TPAC 2023 in person but that isn't necessarily set in stone as of now.

Hi Skef,

Thank you for your efforts getting corporate clearance to discuss your ideas with the group, we’ve been looking forward to hearing about it for a while now.

In my opinion FWIW , it would be most effective if we start with distributing and reviewing your notes and any additional materials you can share, then scheduling a dedicated Zoom meeting for you to present, and we also have the F2F group meeting coming up at TPAC in early September, which would be another great opportunity to discuss this live and in details (hoping that some of us, including yourself, would be able to attend in person).

Thanks again for your efforts to make it happen.
Vlad

I'm just about through the corporate processes needed to allow me to present the new ideas I have been working on and have vaguely alluded to over the past few months. As there is a fair amount of material, I'd like to do a substantial introductory talk to get everyone up ramped up, so that we can decide whether it, or something that evolves out of it, might be a viable alternative to the range-request spec.

I'm wondering if any or all of the following would be possible:

  1.  We at least nominally, and perhaps formally, schedule a longer meeting than normal, so if there are questions or discussions that would be better to have immediately following my presentation, those people who are free can stay and other people can read the minutes later.
  2.  We record the presentation itself in zoom (I'd prefer someone else be in charge of that), store it somewhere sensible, and make a link to it available in the minutes. (I presume for the discussion after we would go back to our usual practice of just providing minutes.)
  3.  Rather than have someone have to be scribe for my talk, I will provide my notes in advance for that purpose, and then someone can be in charge of recording questions and answers that come up during the presentation.

It seems like this would be the most effective way to get the rest of the group ramped up on a lot of info quickly.
