I've actually often wondered why DebConf doesn't do what was routine at
Usenix, LISA, etc., which was to have a mike for questions and a camera
dedicated to that and have people queue to ask questions. Although I
suspect it's just lack of space, given that a lot of the rooms we tend to
use are rather small and that requires a real aisle.
We did that for the Linus Q&A, and I thought that worked much better. And
then people who don't want to be filmed will have a clearer idea of what
part of the audience will be filmed and can avoid sitting close to the
mike, and we could potentially formalize that.
I don't know if we can be sure we'll have large enough rooms, and a
structure (some teams really like having "sit in a circle" meetings, but
still want them filmed) that would let that work.
