Yeah, that makes sense. We had multiple complaints coming out of YVR that the size of the speaker was too small.  So we're trying to work out a happy medium that can still work within our budget.

Appreciate the feedback :)

Here is a good example of what I'm talking about:

There is full view of the slides, but my eyes can't read most of that text. Compare that to YVR:

And it's night and day.

In Berlin, in rooms where we had a full view of the screen, we didn't do a second screen for slides only.  As mentioned, presenters can upload their slides to help with that.

For places like the Marketplace demo theater where we had a smaller screen format, we added the view of both presenter and slide: https://www.openstack.org/videos/berlin-2018/how-to-avoid-vendor-lock-in-in-a-multi-cloud-world-with-zenko

We're looking at ways to improve both formats in Denver, so I'd say stand by.  If there is a presentation that you feel is too difficult to follow, we can reach out to those presenters and encourage them again to upload their slides.

So uh, I don't really want to be that guy, but I'm sure others have noticed the deal with the slides being different in the recordings from years past, in that you can't view them (hopefully people are uploading their slides). I'm mostly curious if there was a reason for that? Budget cuts? Technical issues?
