Yeah, there was a weird reverb-like effect for us on the stage, rendering anything going via the sounds system pretty much unintelligible. I even had problems understanding what Jehan said right next to me, when he was speaking via the microphone.
Next time I’ll be on a stage like this, I’ll definitely be at the sound check the day before and also have someone from the audience area ask questions then and there. My suspicion is that one of the buttons on the desk might have given easy control of this situation to the speakers, if they knew what to do.
Jehan wrote a comment in the ongoing GIMP 3.0.0 string freeze thread about GIMP 3.0.0 RC3 9 days ago:
I assume that we assumed that translators would be following this thread for further updates.
