Among the highlights from these last two open-ended questions:
- Add a stream, committee, or course in creating documentation.
- Look for ways to facilitate conversation about 3rd party Plone products and howto focus on more collaboration between similar products, with the end goal of making evaluation of options much easier.
- Some of the more useful products have fallen into disrepair or a state of terminal "alpha/beta" status. ... anything that can address these issues will (in my opinion) be a big boost for Plone.
- Give ample time for networking and plan evening activities where people can meet each other. Encourage flickr/del.icio.us tagging, blogging/podcasting about the event. Provide audio/video streaming and video archives of the event.
- schedule lightning talks for people to share cool things they're working on.
- Take good care of giving good information about visa requirements
- Fewer presenters, higher quality presentations. The Plone community is not so huge that we need multiple tracks. It's either interesting enough for everybody, or it probably not interesting enough for anybody in retrospect.
- Professional conferences do two things I don't see Plone conferences doing: a) escrowing presentations ahead of time and b) making available a list of attendees and their contact information.
- I feel that there need to be more emphasis on learning for the new plone programmer, administrator and designer.
- IRC nicks on badges !!!
- I think GUADEC had a fairly successful pick-up soccer match. I'm no soccer player, but a sort of "community building" event might be interesting, so long
- as it doesnt feel like a "community building" event. Or at least a semi-organized night out on the town.
- one of the very few things that bothered me about the last conference was the lack of discipline regarding the ending of sessions and breaks.
- Please continue the practice of video and slideshow sharing on the conference website.
