I, like Michelle we empowered by Eric at the last minute. That allowed myself and N5AC to work within the Airmeet system and I focused on the Flex Track.
Yes, we had some big challenges and despite that, I think the AirMeet platform is an excellent tool and moving forward with it would not be a bad thing.
Having talked to Eric a few times over the past few days, he takes this personally (That is an understatement), but will also get back on the horse and the next one in August will be much better. We learn by our failures and mistakes (look at SpaceX).
All the videos should be online in a day or so in HD and even if you didn’t get in on the weekend you still have full access to over 80 presentations.

Thanks, Bruce. While I was responsible for the content, the success was entirely due to the work of Michelle, who helped pulled the pieces together, including enabling the way I wanted to present the talk. I had excellent video and audio because they came from my server with me sharing my screen.
Michelle was alone on the helpdesk for most of the weekend and most assuredly during the crucial first hours when Airmeet collapsed.
I do not feel it is too strong to say without Michelle, the weekend would have fallen apart. When she was host or presenter in a session, you could tell it. That locked her out of helping others in the Airmeet system, and most of the other sessions broke.
The full resolution excellent video/audio versions should be available today, according to emails to the authors sent by Eric.
Those who don't try bold things never fail. The idea behind Airmeet is good. The technology is there, but presenters and hosts are the best people to have total control authority over the display of their presentation session.

In contrast, I spoke at a recent Debian conference which was handled entirely with Open Source software (Jitsi, mainly) and came off flawlessly. You don't really need these expensive closed platforms.
Bob's talk was the best of the show and came off well, technically, as well. Sunday was sort of horrifying, the two talks I tried to attend before Bob's were N6BT on Vertical Antennas, and one on Antenna Aperture. In both cases the host could find the video, one of them eventually found the video but could not admit the speaker to the presentation.
I didn't have problems with my ticket or getting in to the events, but I hear many people did.

It seems to have worked.

I worked through the issues and presented my talk in full high def and full screen. I have hundreds of people in the audience. There were issues. However we find out this morning that every single talk, with the email you signed up with is on its way within hours and will stream with vimeo in high def.
