Asking questions during talks #22

Open Oloni opened 5 years ago

Oloni commented 5 years ago

Hello there, It would be great ot add a little bit about how to improve asking questions after talks. For hearing/speech impaired folk, having a way of asking questions in written format (via a website or twitter hashtag) would be helpful. And giving people the opportunity to write out questions also helps quieter groups (younger participants or people that for one reason or another are shy or less confident) get a say.
