</span>This is a technical issue that needs dealing with for sure. Passing a<br>
mic is absolutely not practical, so it would need to be some sort of<br>
ambient thing. We can't even get people to consistently go to a mic<br>
during Q&A at the end of summit presentations. I've seen enough<br>
teleconferencing systems that cover large boardroom settings to know<br>
that such things exist, but I have no specific knowledge of what they<br>
are, if they can be rented, or how much they cost. That will require a<br>
lot of digging into.</blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>A key difference between the Ceph summit and the Ops Mid-cycle appears to be that the Ops Mid-cycle is at least an order of magnitude bigger.</div><div><br></div><div>For a good amount of the Philly and Palo Alto mid-cycles there were 200ish people in a single room. Audio was a problem even for people sitting in the room at times. I think this is beyond “large boardroom” size.<br></div></div></div></div>
