I think I can say that the issues facing us for having an online 
conference aren't of a technical nature. There are tons of solutions we 
can look at, many of them free.

What we really need is someone who can organize the thing.

I'd definitely be down for attending and/or presenting, but probably not 
organizing.

I will say this, I think we should at LEAST have a hackathon on a 
Saturday as planned, and just set up a discord server for communication 
or use slack (does slack support audio channels?).
