Hi all,
Huge thanks again to the entire team from Intel, for their great work organizing XDC 2020, our first virtual conference!
As usual we're looking for feedback on both XDC itself, and the CFP process and program selection. Both about what was great and should be kept for next year's edition, and where there's room for improvement.
The board does keep some notes, for those interested in what we have already:
- XDC notes for prospective organizers:

If you want to send in your comments in private, please send them to the X.org Foundation board: board@foundation.x.org
Cheers,
Sam
Hi Sam,
I'd like to make a note about using some more privacy-friendly streaming platform.
When I tried to watch the streams, instead of showing the video, youtube presented me with a GDPR dialog.
While it was glitched and unskippable for me, just the fact that Google made it non-optional shows their disregard for my privacy (and, IMO, the letter of law, which mandates opt-in). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to evaluate the dialog's contents due to the glitch, but online reports suggest they are similarly ignorant. All in all, I only access youtube via youtube-dl any more, and that doesn't support streaming.
When attending Akademy 2 weeks ago, they had a setup based on BigBlueButton that worked well without that sort of issues.
Cheers, Dorota
