I say 2 days. If there are any technical issues or if Internet connections are just terrible, then we have another chance at participating live on the other day.

> 2. Do we want to make this event private or public? There are pros and cons for both options. Private option - less likely to get a troll during session. Public option - we can invite other interested people, not only Newton Users from our group. Personally, I am for the public option.
I’m going to vote PRIVATE to the List users.
Two reasons:
1) Bandwidth. Too many people and the result will be poor for everyone.
2) Recordings. The recordings can be made Public after the conference. No one is left out.

We thinking about to create separate Slack group for additional communication, files exchange etc. We don’t want to use existing Slack group (applenewton.slack.com <http://applenewton.slack.com/> <http://applenewton.slack.com/ <http://applenewton.slack.com/>>), as the free option have 10K messages limitation. What do you think about it?
