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

Great feedback René, thank you.

Your suggestions and especially signage, BOF's posted earlier agreed with my
lessons learned notes as well. It was a shame the University didn't simply
give us the room next door as I requested.

Hopefully the part of the presentation you missed was one we recorded. At
the least, you should be able to get the slides.

In case anyone was going to mention it, the microphone feedback was a bit of
a pain too.

I'm interested in knowing if enough people are interested in a bootcamp2009
next year.

Andrew

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? ;)
