You are wrong.

Debconf has continually proven that you live stream and provide videos of talks and discussions with slides without any mic queuing etc.

Every (FOSS) conference should aspire to that level of sophistication and openness.

My main problem isn't that you can't do this perfectly, its that if you don't do it perfectly it has an impact on the people attending, who are paying to attend and whose companies are investing in their attendance.

LCA does this very well also, however if one more person ask someone talking to me to get a mic, I'd get annoyed, you've only got so much time at these things and really you should optimise for the attendees not the rest.
