Gemini talk at FOSDEM '21: Thanks, Bortzmeyer!

1. Thomas Adam (thomas (a) xteddy.org)

Hi all,

Some of you may or may not be aware that Stephane Bortzmeyer gave a talk at
FOSDEM to do with Gemini.

I watched it, it was awesome, and Stephane handled the questions really well!

Really well done, Stephane.

Is there somewhere with video of this on-demand?

Hello

I saw the slides for the talk are up - no video yet. I look forward to 
that when it is up

I was a bit confused on slide 20 where you seem to be saying there are 
no hyperlinks in Gemtext

https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/retro_gemini/attachments/slides/4346
/export/events/attachments/retro_gemini/slides/4346/retro_bortzmeyer_gemini.pdf#page=20

I could not understand how that can be correct? Gemtext *is* indeed a 
hypertext format with hyperlinks. A hypertext is merely any form of text 
and links forming a graph structure that allows users to navigate the links.

The only thing I thought was that you perhaps were referring to the fact 
that there aren't any within-paragraph markup.

Regards

I disagree. Gemini has links but not hyperlinks. This is why, for
instance, it is hard to translate automatically HTML (or any format
with hyperlinks) in gemtext; you are forced to postpone the links at
the end of the paragraph, thus losing context.

Many users would be surprised if we told them Gemini has hyperlinks,
when discovering how it works.

The definition of hypertext does not specifically mention that the
hyperlinks must be embedded multiple times within a line. It's perfectly
fine if you only define hyperlinks in new lines, which is the particular
case of Gemini.

Therefore, Gemini is hypertext.

Up to now I just can't find this video. At FOSDEM they say:

"All talks have been recorded and they will be made available on 
video.fosdem.org/2021 as soon as the presenter reviews their talk."

Maybe this step is just missing? Or does anybody have a link?

FOSDEM is run by volunteers, they are probably still recover from the 
event. It can take several weeks until the videos appear. It is a lot of 
work.

Ah, thanks. I didn't know the event so well. Then I will just wait.

PS: Though, I'm so curious. :-D

I've just reviewed and approved the video so things are moving in the right direction.

I just watched the video and I think it is excellent piece of outreach - 
thanks for making that Stephane.

It would be a good item for a general Gemini public page for the 
gem-curious who drive by.

It is a shame the Q&A at the end aren't recorded - I wonder what sort of 
questions came from the floor...

You end with the question: Is Gemini too brutalist? Probably yes for 
some it will be on first contact. But it will return to them some time 
in the future as they are clicking through the popups, cookie acceptance 
panels, autostarting videos, and strangely familiar adverts.

Once we get a nice joingemini.org outreach Web page. (IMHO, it is very
important to have such a Web site, but not urgent since programs today
are not polished enough.)

> It is a shame the Q&A at the end aren't recorded

Many FOSDEM participants are privacy-conscious and do not want too much
recording: the speakers consented, not the participants. Said in an
other way: th Q&A is more free if it is not recorded.
