Re: [SFD-discuss] Coordination on how to handle SFD 2021
Thanks for replies. Let's keep the discussion on how to organize SFD2021 aside for now. First we need to figure out who are on board. How the official accounts and channels like website are handled. Then, we can plan for this year event.
Hey! Nice message and overall I agree. Though I remember last year, when we offered you to take care of the social media account suddenly you went very quiet... DFF definitely wants to promoted Free Software. Now hundred of thousands of people are dying due to a pandemic and we have problems telling people to meet up under the current circumstances. And while we understands different countries have managed the issue differently we just cannot give any "let's meet" recommendation. Now if you have a real plan on how to manage this whole situation, please let us know because REALLY we would be very happy to have a message to give regardless of where people live. Thank you.

Previous years were very different in the sense that SFD was a face-to-face event led by communities around the world in their own areas. I think the community-led direction is still the right one, but face-to-face not much. We do not have the infrastructure or experience to do online events, nor should we be hosting an event for everyone online. With that in mind the question is how do we do SFD 2021(1) (as it seems most likely we'll be in the same situation as 2020) and how do we communicate about it(2)? 2 will be easier once 1 is clear. 1 options are: a. Face-to-face like before when it makes sense (does it?) b. Online for the rest of the teams \- How (which software, which organization type)? \- How do we present it on the website since anyone can now attend any "place" event? \- Does a location map still make sense versus a language and/or time-zone based representation? c. A mix of online and face-to-face: probably we can define that as in a 2nd phase maybe. Or maybe it's an extension of "online only" SFD events where organizers can decide that meeting face to face is allowed up to x number of people (based on country/city/size of the venue) but that the event is mainly broadcasted. So those are our thoughts at the moment. Please feel free to compliment or extend. Thank you. Fred
