• Good practice for future talks
 • Small groups, but okay for discussion and presentations
 • Felt that the Web2Open was ghettoized
 • Pushed to the boundaries
 • Could have added 2nd day to the printed schedules that were being held out to Web2Expo attendees
 • Great diversity of speakers
 • People in the hallways were loud and talking over speakers
 • Microsoft was sad. Spammed the Mashroom and didn't participate or bring developers
 • Nice to have an inexpensive/free space to meet with people
 • Younger people were here, like high school students - cool.
 • Alot of people wanted to see
 • Need better wireless...bring in a LAN next time?
 • Noisy in open cubicles
 • Need microphones for the presenters
 • Felt marginalized - "The Yellows"
 • Not being seen as valued as the other things
 • Had a great time doing presentations and will lead to more
 • Less pressure. Very familiar and friendly.
 • Marginalized and fighting against noise.
 • People in the main conference didn't take it seriously
 • it wasn't as integrated as it should be
 • 1.0 version of what the open should be like
 • Open schedule spots timed better to encourage people to come with ALL badges?
 • Should be more mentioned in the keynotes
 • Web2Open in slides alongside sponsors?
 • unsponsored let to less benefits (no coffee/snacks)
 • The water was great
 • After we posted on the grid, would have been good to post room schedules on rooms
 • Cooperate with BoFs better
 • Another level of badge holders: Web2Open Participants (new colour)
 • Conferences are like buying a nintendo game without a controller
 • Participant Pass ++
 • Everyone that was talking during the Web2Open was DOING what they were talking about - spoke from experience. Cool.
 • Participatory nature great
 • Assigning topics to spaces difficult
 • Want a description for each workshop and a schedule to carry around
 • Want bios on people who are talking
 • What about a blank schedule so people can fill in their own to carry around?
 • Ad Hoc-ness loses
 • Hard to hear people asking questions
 • Need rooms to be set up in semi-circles with tighter chairs
 • Open & closed rooms
 • Roundtables, discussion groups, etc. for opening day (akin to workshops?)
 • New discussions emerge over time in the open space
 • Very cool
 • Wireless mics
 • It's about our personal growth
 • A few more people to give feedback would be nice
 • You'll meet with the people you need to. Volume isn't important
 • Don't care about numbers.
 • Maybe we should set better expectations
 • Document on what to expect
 • Encourage speakers to self-promote
 • Spaces for speakers to promote and put up more about their talk
 • Need a break in the middle
 • Need more opportunities for session follow-ups
 • More promotion on the main website...couldn't find it
 • web2open.conferenceer.com
 • Conference goers found it hard to juggle both
 • This is the community that feeds new energy into the conference
 • It's all about the coffee/sandwich
 • We don't need no stinking sandwiches!
 • Need to fix the timing
 • Main show was quite US-centric
 • Web2Open is Web 2.0 in the real world
 • Lighting was better in the alcoves (natural light) ++
 • Thanks to O'Reilly & CMP for doing this! You Rock!
