Is there going to be an area onsite for the hackathon?

[linux-modder]

Looks to be a lovely 'virtual' conference aka you can be anywhere, no plane or bus fare needed, Just need yourself, interest in a topic (or a few) and a data connection be it mobile, ethernet or wifi...

It'd be great if they showed us an example of the medium that the talks/communication would happen at a virtual summit like this.
