RE: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] A bit about the CodeCamps from last year
|
Another issue with the code camp was the location. It was
about as far away from the main conference as you could get. We were going to
have a flexible resources get together there but ended up squating in the
Theatre instead so we wouldn't be late for the next
sessions.
It might help attract more gatherings if it was better
located, IMHO.
Cheers,
Doug S (and regrets for missing the call, I'm still not sure
what time it was supposed to be at).
Sorry I joined the call late, but I joined around the time we
were talking about expanding the code camps.
The code camps were great
last year if you needed a place with power, coffee and peace :)
In my
opinion, the original objective of getting people together to hack on things
didn't work out well. This was mostly, in my opinion, a lack of organization
on our part. Last year, we simply just said there was going to be a code camp
and expected people to show up. This year, we should aim to utilize the space
more by:
- having some type of schedule or even a
track as suggested on the call that is staffed by people from certain
projects
- allow people giving talks to elect to
use the room as a place to further discussions after a talk is completed (this
should be made well known to presenters)
Other than that, don't remove
the limitless supply of coffee :P
Thoughts?
