Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Stream-of-consciousness feedback from EclipseCon 2010

Program committee --

If it ever comes up, please tell conference presenters that if they have problem in their session room, such as sight lines being poor or screen too low, all they need to do is step outside and tell their door monitor. The monitor will notify a conference Ops person and often we can get the problem fixed right away.

Next year we will be sure to mention this to our presenters, but info like this is sometimes forgotten. So hearing it again never hurts.

Oisin, thanks for this list. The more feedback we get, the more we can improve!

These are a mixture of my impressions and items of feedback that were
given/solicited.

+1 :
* tutorials every morning
* the mars rover buzz
* the keynotes
* the booths in the middle of the crowd
* shorter talks
* lotsa bofs
* Don's humour and MC skills
* mugs rather than cups for coffee
* ice cream
* exercise organization
* more people in sessions
* wireless working
* panels
* some really good talks

-1:
* code on slides not visible in rooms
* viewability of projection screens bad from certain angles
* not enough demos in some talks
* not enough non-demos in some talks (huh)
* inconsistent tutorial experiences
* some rotten talks (I have names if necessary :)
* not enough people stopping at booth

By definition you don't get a +0 from anyone with an opinion :)

On the -1 part, we could address viewability of slides
by adding TV feeds further down the room, nearer the
back, at an extra cost I am sure. The tutorial experience
inconsistency is something we should definitely attempt to
fix (IMHO), probably with some supervisory assignments
from the PC and a timeline for materials production, and
a checklist of what you as a tutorial presenter needs to
do to be ready.

I know Don has had feedback too - it would be great  to
collate all this for the next victim^h^h^h^h^h^h chair's
reference.

And thanks a bunch for everything guys, it was fun!
