Matt Venn has suggested the idea of an "Open Source" ASIC conference. bless him, it's a fantastic idea, my only concern being that the emphasis on "Open" will end up with the same completely unintentional exclusion caused by, just picking one example, OpenPOWER NA 2020 selecting slack as the sole exclusive attendee discussion forum. as a result it was a deeply disturbing psychological experience to present at, being completely cut off and isolated from the other speakers and attendees, only "rolled on" to give an actual talk then "rolled off" back in the box, silenced by the non-diverse non-inclusive accidental choice of technology.
if you believe the idea to be a good one - and after the excitement that was caused by David's "Reprap ASIC" presentation at NGI Forum 2021 yesterday - i think it is, please do spread the word and emphasise to people to advocate for *Libre* inclusive hosting technology. the most obvious answer there is "follow what FOSDEM2021 and Debconf or XDC2020 do", they all used jitsi in some fashion. FOSDEM and Debconf also use matrix/element.io, XDC2020 used jitsi plus IRC plus a jitsi youtube live plugin.
if you choose not to use google forms, you can ask someone to enter the responses for you, i am happy to do that, please email me directly.
