The problem is not technology, it is resources. Pycon is a 1200+ person
conference, it is also more expensive than the PostgreSQL Conferences.
PgEast/West when we were running 3 tracks it was easy to keep up with the
requirements to get video up but now, 6-7 tracks? 3-4 days? Only 249.00 to
show up? That is a lot of resources. Simply put, we would have needed a
minimum of 21 volunteers just for video (assuming we each volunteer was
dedicated for only a day). The conferences just aren't that big yet.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
