Samuel wrote up a blog post as both a summary of the conference and a kind of
"thank you" card to organizers:

Feeback was that media.ccc.de was very well received and people appreciated
having a privacy-friendly open source platform alternative for following the
talks. One suggestion to convert XDC to a hybrid conference, because of carbon
footprint and such. A few complaints about the schedule but I think we did our
best, since moving the schedule around would have been far too difficult.
The board also approved a budget to treat the XDC2021 organizers to a meal!
