Seeing people as close to "in person" as we can get without a conference |
| 10 |
really does help to improve the quality of our interactions. It's a lot |
| 11 |
harder to be a jerk when you can picture the person you're writing to as |
| 12 |
a living, breathing person. |

Given recent, and more distant, actions by some of our community with |
| 15 |
DevRel consequences, it should be clear that treating our fellow |
| 16 |
developers decently is a problem. And seriously, hopping on a video chat |
| 17 |
once or twice a year should be doable for most of us. |

I don't necessarily care a lot about the PR value of any replays, I see |
| 20 |
it as much more important to strengthening Gentoo than to do outreach. |

That said, I've gotten over 10,000 views of an intro talk on Gentoo |
| 23 |
that's posted on YouTube despite its pretty bad audio quality, and |
| 24 |
nearly 2,000 views of a Gentoo talk targeted at developers, so there's |
| 25 |
clearly people looking for this stuff. |
