  • It's hard to tell if someone is wearing a yellow badge or a blue one for people taking photos. Maybe use yellow/blue strips next year? - JonathanKang

Schedule

Worked well

  • The increased opportunities for lightning talks and open slots were great - PhilipChimento

  • Glad to see more user-oriented and community-oriented talks this year - PhilipChimento

Needs improvement

  • Website: during the conference, hide old days so as to make the current day quicker to access - StephenPearce

  • Friday morning's technical and nontechnical tracks probably shouldn't have been opposite each other; both contained talks that could have been made into keynotes - PhilipChimento

  • Plan the intern lightning talks at midmorning, so that the interns get a fresh audience - PhilipChimento
