I've been focusing a lot on sustainable, scalable education and intersection with all aspects of Web, this article about "Slow Conferences" hits on my disruptive self yelling at devs, @W3C and browser makers to slow TF down. Note I did not yell "Monoculture!" (and never will).
We've been thinking a lot about the opportunity a move to online conferences presents to do things differently, and perhaps better.
Here are some of our thoughts on 'slow conferences'

Someone asked if I'd live long enough considering I've lived longer than anyone expected much less have periods of functioning. The point is focus and contributions external to myself as otherwise I fall into "victim" mentality which is a shit place for everyone and me. Quality!

Our social biases are illogical as are the words we use as polarizing. The root "dis" means "apart." Is there no human who is ever apart from ability of any kind even temporarily? We must stop selling #a11y as an add-on Web tech much less a social subset when it is not a subset.
