Thanks Bjorn. 

On the power strips, I thought you mentioned
another option that would have required more cost (and hence, higher admission
fee ... I think is was 20 dollars per person, or so). I doubt anyone would
want to reduce the slots, and guess if that's the only choice, maybe we
could just be more explicit next year. Perhaps some people could say if
they require power for their tutorials (i.e. have hands-on exercises planned)
or not (do not have hands on exercises planed). Perhaps that would suffice
to balance those that need it vs. those that don't. And, if someone said
they needed it, and we didn't have that many "power rooms" available,
they just wouldn't get accepted (or, at least give them a choice if they
wanted to adopt their tutorial so as to not require power).  As always
... take my remarks as just observations ... and in this case, I am just
passing on observations I've heard! ...  maybe there is no solution.


On the memory sticks ... I (and I guess
the person I heard the comment from) wasn't aware of the exchange program.
So ... I guess one note to make for next year might be  "from
the beginning use the exchange system like we ended up with last year"
:)  [I myself actually went on the last day to get an update, and
there was an unmanned replication port there with 5 or so people waiting,
and after waiting 20 minutes ... and being next in line :) I decided I'd
just wait and get off the web after I was home, which I still haven't done
:( 

Thanks much,

Thanks David.  If anyone else would like to post
some comments, I'll include them in my final evaluation report as well.

• Absolutely should have power strips for attendees for all tutorials.

The direct consequence
of that will be fewer tutorial slots. FYI.
I have taken the "more tutorial slots is better even if there is no
power" approach to date, but perhaps that was the wrong choice - perhaps
you all want fewer slots even though there are more and more projects and
topics each year.

•   Suggested to have more and easier (and, quicker?) replication ports available next year.

Not
sure what your concern was here: when we discovered the update stations
were slow, we switched to a better system of exchanging an out-of-date
for an up-to-date memory stick. Walk up, hand the person your stick, get
another one, walk away - less than 5 seconds tops. I'm not sure what could
be faster than that?
