Satisfaction: 2
Liked_Best: Wireless access was awesome! It really helped reinforce what I was learning during the sessions.

Keynotes: Joel\'s Keynote
Rooms: Theater

This was a great learning experience. After missing a year, I was amazed to see how well-organized and professional it was this year.
Short_Talk: Like
Short_Talk_Length: 12
Short_Talk_Format: Horizontal
Parallel: Just_Right
Format: 2+3
Later_Sessions: No
Exhibit_Hall_Hours: The closure times were fine. Staying open later (into the evening) on the second exhibit day would be good.
For short sessions, it would be good if the times were synch\'d across rooms, with a 2-3 minute gap in between - if you used the 200-series rooms in Santa Clara, it would be easier to move between rooms/sessions.
OS_Pavillion: Yes
Keynotes: No_change
Keynote_Speakers: Eclipse for Embedded Systems; Scott Adams was at Embedded Systems last year (Joel was possibly funnier...)
Improve_Next_Year: I\'m not sure of the usefulness of John & Erich\'s keynote, to be honest.
Regarding the length of time, the BOFs already run quite late (and are a bit painful for those of us coming from the East Coast). Some conferences offer BOFs in the morning or at lunch - how about brown-bag BOFs with a longer lunch break, + one slot in the evening?
