Jono Bacon: On Moving To An Online Ubuntu Developer Summit

Jono Bacon discusses the move to an online-only Ubuntu Developer Summit, and shares some of the benefits that he sees in the new format. He notes that there were some difficulties in hearing sessions in past remote participation, but those issues should be fixed by having everyone use their own microphones and webcams. He also discusses how the use of Hangouts and IRC will allow more users to be able to participate and help retain personal connections despite not being face-to-face.
