:boost_requested: a poll about chaos events and social interactionIf you are going to/were going to go to congress (39C3), are you primarily interested in the people you'll meet there, or are you more interested in the talks?
My first chaos event was entirely spent hanging out with cool critters and I only ended up going to a single talk because of it
:boost_requested: a poll about chaos events and social interaction@star I usually go to talks that aren't recorded, the rest of the time I spend with all the cool critters
:boost_requested: a poll about chaos events and social interaction@star Interested in meeting people but mostly going to talks because shy. And less nice bubble to stay with. And everything is so overwhelming. Sadly.
:boost_requested: a poll about chaos events and social interaction@star it is entirely common in the chaos that you mostly go there for the people and watch talks later since most of them are recorded anyway
:boost_requested: a poll about chaos events and social interaction@star in my experience, there are a LOT of interesting talks. But only a handful that you want to see NOW once you are there.
And after that, you sometimes end up being busy at that time. The point is, the talks, you can watch later. The experience going between villages/assemblies, talking to people (or trying), looking at projects and things that happen, that you can't replay. Enjoy it while you are there
