[mch2021-orga] Call for Participation open & ready to share!

[Vesna Manojlovic]

Hi,

thanks for all your efforts to organise the next event!

it is my intention to be helpful, not critical,
so I do hope you receive these suggestions in the positive spirit:

0. please do NOT assume "business as usual"!

1. please mention health & the protection from corona epidemic: how will 
orga deal with the measures that will still be needed in august 2021

(i saw from the comments that this was taken seriously during the "field 
trip", but just by reading the CFP, i got the impression that this event 
is planned to be on a planet different then this one...)

2. please clarify if "remote participation" will be available & how: 
- can people submit a video-talk?
- will the audience be able to watch the straming? use chat to ask 
questions? 
- etc


3. please add some relevant & contemporary & critical topics, such as: 
sustainable & green technologies ; analysing open data to achieve social 
justice ; using technical skills against opresive regimes / corporations..

and/or

4. provide info on how is the ORGA going to cut down our own 
event's carbon footprint (or are we just going to keep on using 
disel-powered generators like there's no tomorrow?) ...


and again:

thanks for all your efforts to organise the next event!

it is my intention to be helpful, not critical,
so I do hope you receive these suggestions in the positive spirit.
