When placing this year’s foss-north event over a quarter break I knew that I would be busy both at work<\/a> and at the conference<\/a>. Little did I know what was beyond the horizon ;-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence of the COVID-19 situation, the event has to be converted from a physical meeting to a virtual event. This means many things to an organizer: renegotiating all sponsorship contracts, renegotiating with the physical venue, setting up the infrastructure for a virtual event, rescheduling all speakers, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We at foss-north are lucky. All sponsors continue to stay with us and the venue was very cooperative when it came to rescheduling the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have started to document our virtual conference setup<\/a> so that other conferences in the same situation can learn. Pull requests are welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Sunday we decided to stress test the infrastructure by running the lightning talks. This is a good test case, as it involves a maximum number of speaker transitions, as well as more frequent QA sessions. From an organizer perspective, this is really like running a full day of the conference in 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m happy to tell you that the talks went well! You find them below. Following the links you find slides as well as recordings of the sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve also been able to get most of the conference schedule<\/a> in place and just have a few rough edges to fix before the big event. I am extremely pleased with how this has turned out. We still have a stellar speaker setup and I hope that you will all join in and watch the streams. The event is free for all and open to all and runs from March 29 – April 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
