Please share post-conference your impressions, pictures you've taken, ...
Send links to photos, ... to conference@marketing.openoffice.org

  • Still Water <drinks were good>

  • Rooms too warm

  • Better to have hacker room closer to the session rooms

  • More time (sessions and breaks)

  • Three tracks too many (some said too few)

  • Need to balance 'important' sessions with less important ones (SDK against XML in same timeslot)

  • Good sessions mix

  • Consider two full days instead of 1.5...(with 1 day for special meetings)

  • Party was important, no pressure to rush

  • Attendee list would be good

  • Color-coded badges

  • Bigger list of hotels with URLs / booking sites

  • Audio recordings or transcripts / video (Claus promises this in Copenhagen...in Flash...with multilanguages)

  • More contact points between Sun engineers (not just release engineers)

  • Price: low entry fee is good for TCO

  • Better internet connections...wireless is good...just make it easy to get to

  • Bloggers & real time photos would be good

  • IRC / AIM

  • 3rd party SDK

  • Workshop character...not such a lecture format

  • Developer tutorials...how to hack some specific box

  • More cushy chairs

  • Coffee (not Java)

  • More notice on program details (so you can plan)...longer deadlines also

  • Tutorials for end users...may be problem to attract users at developer-focused conference

  • CeBIT as a platform for advertising this conference

  • Question of whether CeBIT is a good anchor

  • Tie to a 'teach-in' in the community

  • Tie to a different Open Source conference (LinuxTAG for instance) 15K attendees focused on developers...could pre-pend or append.

  • Registration trouble...had to be persistent due to domain name resolution problem...confirmation would have been nice

  • Larger Schedules in the hallways
