Purpose of this page
Hi all! I thought I would collect some comments on what I thought went really well, and what could be improved for next year here. Please feel free to do the same!

First of all: thanks for a great conference! I'm positively surprised at how well the teams functioned, despite this being the first time that most of us met. I was also very impressed with how the café and the social area(s) turned out (and with the selection of beer). Over all, my impression is that this went mostly very smoothly and efficiently, and it was pleasure working with you!
Here are some things (in the shape of a boring list) that I think could be improved for next year (order of appearance):
- Ventilation: For next year, a good idea would be, I think, to put "Peleas help me keep the air fresh -- press me!"-signs by the forced ventilation buttons, and perhaps also have a map where they are marked.
- Maps for volunteers are a good point over all -- something showing just where what should be done so that work can be coordinated easier. It could well be in analog format, so that waste bins, table stores etc., can be added once we know where we put them.
- Set workteam meet-up point at the beginning of each shit (thinking of the venue team, mostly), so that the work can be coordinated. It went very well anyway, but I think we can do even better.
- The reserved-for-accessibility 2nd row was not respected, probably due to lack of information. A simple note by the outer edges, saying it is made broader for access could fix this, though it has to be phrased in such a way that it doesn't deter people who don't need the extra access from sitting there, since that would be a waste of space most likely.
- Though the "fire"-escape went smoothly, I think us volunteers could probably need some extra training in what to do when the alarm sounds (i.e. don't keep emptying waste bins, but get everyone out, then get out yourself). I think many didn't even realise that this was what the alarm sounded like.
Thanks for this weekend!
