[03:46] <smkellat> Is anybody going to try OLF in its virtual format this year?  Unless it is something like Movie Sign With The Mads virtual events have been hard to participate in from my perch here in Ashtabula.
[03:50] <Unit193> No.
[13:10] <thafreak> I attended the virtual PyOhio this year and it was pretty good, basically worked out like a movie watching party.
[13:11] <thafreak> But really it only worked out because it happened on a saturday/sunday and so I had the time to sit and watch and join in on the discord
[13:12] <thafreak> All talks were pre-recorded and streamed on youtube in order and the speakers took questions on discord
[13:13] <thafreak> Looks like OLF is a thursday-saturday so I probably won't join in virtually, we'll see
[20:37] <dzho> "join in on the discord"
[20:38] <Unit193> Yeah I'm old and cranky, I don't discord. :(
[20:38] <dzho> one of the things that has dejected me the most about FOSS in the pandemic is seeing the trend towards "FOSS project using proprietary silos" turn over yet another deflection point in accelerating
[20:39] <Unit193> If it makes you feel better, the thing I'm associated with turned to mumble and etherpad for notes.
[20:39] <Unit193> Debian was using jitsi.
[20:39] <dzho> there are bright spots, yes
[20:40] <dzho> I need to find a CodiMD instance I want to use. 
[20:41] <dzho> https://libreho.st/ <-- this helps
