Indeed, we have an asterisk server that we set up with the intent that
it should be able to support a lot (we tested at least 100) simultaneous
attendees for remote summit participation.  But since Stefano and
Thierry knew there was no interest, we did not do the final prep needed
to support the summit.

If people really are interested in remote participation, we would be
happy to help with that using open source tools that are accessible to a
large number of people over a wide range of technology.  Please register
your interest with the track leads, Stefano, or the infrastructure team
a bit earlier before the next summit and it can happen.
