Satisfaction: 2
Liked_Best: I thought the subject on the tables at lunch was very good. It was an easy way to get together with other persons with interests in a particular subject. Maybe something similar over drinks at the end of the day would be good too.

The other thing was the tutorials. I went to 2 of them, EMF & BIRT. In both cases the presenters did a great job in covering the subject.
Short_Talk: Did_Not_Like
Short_Talk_Length: 15 maybe 20
Short_Talk_Format: Vertical
Parallel: Fewer
Number_Of_Parallel: 6
Format: 2+3
Later_Sessions: Yes
Exhibit_Hall_Hours: I would\'ve like to have visited the exhibit hall in the evenings after the sessions were over and possibly even after dinner. Having the hall open (and even demos) from 7-10pm would have been ideal for me.
OS_Pavillion: No_Visit
Keynotes: No_change
Improve_Next_Year: My experience with the BOFs were that they were haphazard at best. Scheduling those up front based on demand from registrants would be helpful.

If you move the location from the valley, then at least move it somewhere thats seasonal and attractive to visit.
