[Projectleiding] Fwd: [mch2021-orga] Minutes mumble 20210303

[Hugh Wells]

Hey,

I'm a recent member of the Content Team.

My opinion is very much with "An online event feels like no event, just
something online with another logo", if that helps.

However, if you're shipping badges or any other swag to people, I am happy
to help out with that.

I already run a small (deliberately not very profitable) company doing this
for events in the UK, to help them out: https://swagshiphack.dev

If you need any help with that sort of logistics, then let me know :-)

Hugh

Hi,

More opinions are welcome, send them to projectleiding at lists.ifcat.org.


Here are the minutes:
== Decision made to stop ==
Minutes are discussed:
    https://pad.ifcat.org/p/MCHBreakpoint

Question about total running costs:
    About 7000 to 10.000 euro lost
    Depending ±donations / who wants to donate their ticket

    Still about 20k on the bank account
    People are asking to help cover costs for MCH.
    Idea from badge team: the badge can also be sold for "profit" to cover
these costs.


Opinions about online/offline event:
    Technically: for speakers getting consistent audio/video is hard or
impossible

    Opinions:
    - "An online event feels like no event, just something online with
another logo"
    - "I usually go to another physical event, and i think the online
variant does not make sense"
    - "I guess that most people go for social interaction. Calling an
online event MCH event it would detract from value."
    - "high profile speakers: nobody could commit"
    - "There are some people in the badge team that want to create a
mini-online conference - workshops per day etc"
    - "A badge-only event could possibly work, the campzone 2020 model"
    - "Having something this year gives something work towards"
    - "Badge team wants a party"
    - "Try to spend time on fun things this year"


Opinions about an event next year:

    Opinions:
    - "I wonder if we can get enough volunteers"
    - "everything from the last year will be done in 2022"
    - "we don't want to cancel a second time if there is uncertainty"
    - "i only want to do this if there is an all clear, to be in full
control"
    - "it would help if this could actually happen (covid-wise)"
    - "until the point there are physical meetings again, it will be
useless"
    - "If the road is clear community wise and covid wise people will join"
    - "Mostly start ±6 months in advance (if there are people), some teams
need a year+ in advance"


Ideas about online / badge event:
    - Directly shipped from china
    - Productiehuis can and is willing to support
    - Getting the badges in the hands of participants in time is not a
challenge
    - There are some chip shortages which might cause price hikes
    - Most parts are secured


Help is offered for wrapping up the event.
