Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] question about onsite BoF signups

+1 for removing BoF signups. They rarely
had much correlation to who actually showed up. Sometimes there would be
3-4 names but 20 people in the room. The on site BoFs *do* need very prominent
signage on site so people are aware of them and know where to go. I seem
to remember last year the lists were tucked away somewhere and many people
didn't even know what BoFs were on.

What do we do if more people request
on-site BoFs than we have room for? We'll have to pick the winning topics
or suggest topics be merged I suppose.

Hi all,

We are trying to streamline the onsite BoF signup process.
My idea is to have the onsite BoF organizers sign up to reserve a room/time,
but not have any sort of signup for the BoF attendees.

Do you think this will be OK?

The pre-scheduled BoFs are in the larger rooms, with the
theory that those will be more heavily attended, so space for those should
not be an issue.

There are six BoF rooms, and they hold 96, 60, 60, 24,
15, 15 (classroom setup).

Please advise! Thanks.
