Revision as of 11:35, 22 November 2010

We'll probably gather some more formal feedback later, but this is a good place to gather feedback in the meantime.

Contents

What Worked?

We'll try to make sure we keep these and don't change the things that people liked.

Logistics

  • Printouts of the sessions (both the big handbook and the small pocket-sized list)
  • Useful gifts in the give-away bag (the umbrella)
  • Hotel reservation
  • The registration
  • The style of venue was a great choice

Live Stream / Video / AV

  • Streamed over the Internet just fine
  • Videos captured sound properly

Early Bird Events

Hacker Lounge

  • Free beer and collaborative creative party games and sports

Sessions / Program

  • Schedule in the website combining videos (live and recorded), slides and abstracts
  • Uploading of slides centralised in program website

Unconference

  • Tone-setting and handling of sessions
  • Organisation of sessions
  • The number of rooms (10+)

Lightning Talks

  • Presenters kept to the allotted time

Other / General

What Didn't Work?

We'll try to fix any issues before the next conference

Logistics

  • Some registrations were lost in the system (software glitch?)
  • Registration bags could not be dropped at the hotels
  • Website sign-up link wasn't easy to find (centre of the homepage)
  • Once the block hotel booking is made, website/wiki must have clear guidance on how/whom to contact. If necessary management should reserve their rooms but ask the hotel to continue to allow reservations via promotional code so that a deposit is taken but those rooms are accounted for out of the block booking remainder.

Live Stream / Video / AV

Early Bird Events

Hacker Lounge

Sessions / Program

  • Presenters had to sign up to meego.com, to the conference and confirm they were presenting
  • Confirmations for accepted speakers should be sooner

Unconference

  • Schedule board could be larger
  • More sessions in the afternoon

Lightning Talks

Other / General

What Else?

  • Better profile of the audience (hackers, corporate developers, corporate decision-makers, press, etc.)
  • Often the internet connection was not enough for all people. Maybe because there was more people than expected...
  • The WLAN should account for every person having two devices (and for unexpected last minute higher turnout)
