hi, there are different sides to this | |
1) a long meetup is long | |
2) as an organizer i'm happy about every talk | |
3) speakers have a right for feedback and there should be time for discussions | |
4) everything in the physical world has a 20% failure rate | |
ad 3) the speakers are the real heroes of the meetups, they invest time before the meetup, they prepare, | |
they stand in front - of a quite critical - crowd (which is easy for some, which is unbelieveable hard | |
for others, they do it anyway, cudos). so thumbs up for every talker, you are awesome. | |
ad 2) currently we have a lot of speakers, and i'm very happy about this. but i also know that there | |
will be a time when there will be only one talk ;( it's not a question of "if" but of "when" | |
ad 4) 20% to 30% of all announced talks won't happen. that's ok, that's life. life is what happens while | |
you make plans. so if we would limit to 5 talk (and announce them), 3 will happen. | |
this leads us to nr 1) a long meetup is long | |
i think it's not about the number of talks, but about the fact that our brains shut down after about 2 1/2 hours. | |
so basically what i would say. if we have more than 5 talk, i/we should be very strict about the length of | |
the talks. 15 to 20min, 5 min questions. 25min max. | |
if we have 4 to 5 talks, we can be more relaxed about the lenght of the talks and the lenght of the feedback/question round. | |
said that: talks, talks, talks, i'm looking forward to what you come up nexts. every talk is awesome in his own right | |
(as long as we see some code) |
