[Bootcamp08] Re: Bootcamp08 Digest, Vol 3, Issue 1

[René Enguehard]

I enjoyed this conference, however here are my suggestions at making
it even better:

Less focus on the tools themselves but rather how to use them. I would
have enjoyed some kind of guidance with regards to which situation
which tool should be used for. Learning how to use a particular tool
is easy, however looking at a problem and thinking "Hey, I should use
a fusion, mapserver and postgis stack for this" is quite another
thing. Just my 0.02$.

Better signage. I know this isn't really your fault, but I know of a
few people who got lost between conference rooms. I'm sure it was
frustrating to miss half a presentation due to wandering around.

Perhaps a more formal registration system. I know it isn't required
but I also know a few people were confused as to the registration
process since they are used to doing things a certain way with respect
to conferences. :)

BOF meetings posted earlier would be nice too.

So, same time next year? ;)
