• Are videos of the sessions available under a CC BY-SA 3.0 License? --Guy Macon (talk) 07:20, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
• I initially thought the bit on going overtime was sarcastic. Going overtime is discriminatory against weaker people and is contrary to the stated aims of an anti-harassment event. Nemo 13:23, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I can't tell if you're taking the piss or not. GamerPro64 21:25, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
    • My guess is that he thinks that going over time intruded on other sessions, but in this case it just extended into a planned break. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 21:39, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
      • Personally I find people going over time rather annoying. I don't want to get up in the middle of someone talking and leave (especially if I'm not at the edge of the room), but I also like having breaks, so I can get a glass of water, go to the bathroom, figure out where I'm going next, etc. Bawolff (talk) 03:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
• I think about one or two sessions at the whole conference actually ended on time. It would've been nice to have conference staff helping to police that. It's nice to have these conversations, but a session going over is just stealing time from the next. --BDD (talk) 19:32, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
