3 Bitreich Conference System / Discussion
4
5 ## Why is there no video stream?
6
7 Video is a waste of bandwidth. Visitors can now easily decide if they
8 only want to listen or watch the screen.
9
10 ## Why is catpoint used instead of some other presentation software?
11
12 Catpoint forces presenters to cut down their information to what really
13 matters. Effects in presentations are a waste of neuronal resources.
14 With this reduction presentations can be easily reproduced and formatted
15 to something which UNIX tools can use. See the bitreichcon 2017 for the
16 ease you get.
17
18 PDF or video are a waste of resources. What you get over to the listener
19 or viewer is text, which is hidden in graphics, which is hidden in mate
20 boilerplate.
21
22 Presenters can use other tools too, which run in a terminal and can be
23 muxed. Such presenters have to consider how to reproduce their presen‐
24 tation on the conference page. Catpoint and pointtools provide a frame‐
25 work for fast presentation creation and processing.
26
27 ## Does this system scale?
28
29 The bitreich conference system was thought out to be the anti‐conference
30 system of modern times. There are no parallel tracks or uncoordinated
31 discussions. Everything needs to be easily repeatable. Coordinated dis‐
32 cussions lead to coordinated thoughts. Coordinated facts lead to reuse
33 of what has already been thought.
34
35 Commercial conferences are for selling, which means to stop you from
36 thinking. Reconsider this next time you »visit« such a conference.
37 First ask for the food quality.

39 ## I found a bug in the system.

41 Consider talking to __20h__ on #bitreich‐en. All recommendations are
42 welcome.
