让构想大量涌现

On Monday 16th January I presented to online attendees of the Emerge Mini-conference for Web Heroines. Web Heroines is a project with a mission to:

1月16日星期一，我向Web Heroines的Emerge Mini-Conference的在线与会者进行了介绍。 Web Heroines是一个项目，旨在：

… inspire, engage and inform women showing how bloomin’ marvelous the digital world can be.

…激发，吸引并告知女性，展示数字世界的辉煌。

As I explained to .NET Magazine when I was contacted by them to comment on my involvement, I’m not comfortable with women only groups and events where they encourage an “us and them” attitude. I don’t think we do ourselves any favours if we simply huddle up in a corner together. However, given that there are fewer women involved in technology, it doesn’t hurt to make sure that those of us who are working in the business are visible. If only so that women thinking of this industry as a career can see role models, see that there are women working right across the industry.

正如我在与.NET杂志联系以评论我的参与时向.NET杂志解释的那样，我对女性团体和活动中她们鼓励“我们和她们”的态度感到不满。 我认为，如果我们只是挤在一个角落里，我们就不会有任何好处。 但是，由于从事技术工作的女性人数较少，因此确保可见我们从事这项工作的人并没有什么害处。 如果只是让认为该行业为职业的女性能够看到榜样，就可以看到整个行业中都有女性在工作。

I presented new material on “Launching a Product“. This is something I have been wanting to speak about for a while, and was based on our experiences launching Perch two and a half years ago. I had some nice feedback on Twitter after the event and I hope that the attendees enjoyed it.

我介绍了有关“发布产品 ”的新材料。 这是我一直想谈论的一件事，它是基于两年半前我们推出Perch的经验。 活动结束后，我在Twitter上收到了一些不错的反馈，我希望与会者喜欢它。

The problem with presenting online is it is really difficult to get a feel for if the attendees are enjoying it. Essentially I was presenting to my own computer for an hour, trying not to get distracted by cats wandering around the office car park. None of the clues I pick up when presenting live are there. I’ve done a few online presentations now and the only way to get a feel for how it went is to check Twitter and hope someone says something about my talk!

在线演示的问题在于，很难让与会者感到满意。 本质上，我在自己的计算机上待了一个小时，以免被猫在办公室停车场四处闲逛分散注意力。 现场直播时我没有发现任何线索。 我现在已经做了一些在线演示，唯一了解这种情况的方法是检查Twitter，并希望有人对我的讲话发表一些看法！

Set up and ready to present to the Emerge mini-conference

设置好并准备出席Emerge小型会议

I had some encouraging feedback on Twitter from this presentation but it led me to wondering how we can improve the feel of an online conference for speakers and attendees. In addition to feedback when presenting onstage, another important place I get feedback after a presentation is in the breaks afterwards. It isn’t about people coming up and telling me they loved it, but rather the questions they come and ask. The ideas they want to discuss. Then I know that the things I have said have hit a chord with a person, and may also pick up something that should be added to the presentation another time.

通过这次演讲，我在Twitter上获得了一些令人鼓舞的反馈，但它使我想知道我们如何改善演讲者和与会人员的在线会议的感觉。 除了在舞台上演讲时提供反馈外，演讲后我在休息后还能收到反馈，这是另一个重要的地方。 这不是关于人们站出来告诉我他们喜欢它，而是关于他们来问的问题。 他们想讨论的想法。 然后，我知道我说的话已经和一个人产生共鸣，并且可能还会捡起一些应该再次添加到演示文稿中的内容。

For attendees an important part of a real world conference experience is discussion with speakers and with each other. The online conferences I have been involved with have generally had a short period of questions after the presentation. Is there a good way to facilitate a more relaxed question and answer session, perhaps using IRC or similar?

对于与会者来说，现实世界会议体验的一个重要部分是与演讲者以及彼此之间的讨论。 演讲后，我参与的在线会议通常会有短暂的问题。 是否有一种很好的方法可以简化问答环节，例如使用IRC或类似方法？

With many companies cutting back, employees may find they don’t have the budget to travel to conferences, so I think online conferences are valuable and here to stay. However with so much of the conference experience being the bits between the presentations, I wonder if we can partly create that atmosphere for speakers and attendees albeit in a virtual way.

随着许多公司裁员，员工可能会发现他们没有足够的预算去参加会议，因此我认为在线会议很有价值并且可以保留。 但是，由于会议的大部分经验是演讲之间的紧要关头，我想知道我们是否可以部分地为演讲者和与会人员营造一种虚拟的氛围。
