Out of the several hundred persons who saw my two talks during the #FOSDEM weekend. One(!) has provided feedback using the site. On the bad mike/speaker setup.
My point is mostly to fellow speakers: don't assume people will use that system to say anything. Good or bad.,
I had maybe 20 people tell me to my face they liked one or both of my talks. A better feedback channel!
@bagder I will use the Mastodon system. I really enjoyed your "You too could have made #curl" talk on Sunday. Please do forgive me that "this guy made curl but can't get the projector up and running" did briefly cross my mind in the beginning 🤷♂️ 🙃 😉
@freeman2501 Projectors and printers, they will forever remain impossible to make reliable!
It was probably something wrong in the autoneg of the resolution. I could see on the monitor laptop that my output was fine (and the ppl watching the stream saw it), but eventually we changed the resolution (higher) and then the projector suddenly wanted to play.
@bagder I've been visiting fosdem since... checks tshirt, 2015, and I've honestly never noticed the button, I had to CTRL+F to even see it...
But on the other hand, I'm happy enough knowing that most people just find it hard to show appreciation, and just silently enjoy it.
