- Fedora workshop is popular every year
- Tuesday morning - plenary
- feedback suggests: people love the lightning talks
- Tuesday afternoon - poster session
- We ask all the partners to bring a poster
- There was some negative feedback about the noise and space
- Wednesday morning - parallel themed or targeted presentations
- concurrent lightning talks - how many concurrent tracks can we have? 6 rooms are available - doesn't mean we have to have 6 tracks. The rooms are on 2nd and 9th floor.
- Plan out lightning talks ahead of time or let people sign up on that day?
- Wednesday afternoon and Thursday - un-conference and WG/IG meetings
- We will have to contact the IG and WG. Last year, some committees did not have any updates. At virtual connect, we used a template and asked chairs to put update based on 3 questions: What has been done, what is the future and who are the chairs and meeting times.
- Recruit people for presenting
- Un-conference is for providing an opportunity to work any cool ideas/topics.
- Not sure if everyone has a good idea about what un-conference session is. We need to better advertise it
