Liked_Best: I enjoyed meeting the GMF, EMF and Platform/UI teams. The lunches were very decent, much better than SD/West. The BOF sessions at night were also good. I\'m a night person, so the 9:30 to 11:00 was a nice thing to keep occupied at night.

As a note to the last question: I believe Santa Clara is a great location, though I would consider attending somewhere else.

Improve_Next_Year: I would like to see parallel basic/advanced classes. It seemed like all of the basic classes were in the morning, and all of the advanced classes were in the afternoon. I would have preferred advanced classes on many of the topics, so it would have been useful to have a mix of basic/advanced in all time slots.

Of course, for people wanting to take basic and then advanced, the current format is better. But for people who already have a basic knowledge of many topics, a mixed format would be better.
