>From a pure DDF point of view and wanting to get stuff done... The tutorials are a great way to share information that was prepared and the DDF sessions were useful to get people talking and working. Everything else in the middle was a distraction. Yes, it is nice to attend other sessions and hit booths, but I spent most of my time in unconference sessions and couldn't even get around to look at other stuff.
It does seem like we need more days in there. Overlapping with other events/projects was also distracting based on the compressed time. I was interested in the other events but had no time to join them. Also when things overlap on a schedule it makes it difficult to get all interested parties together. Many of us cross projects and it was very difficult to make DDF work over a day and a half with the unconference board fully stacked. You want a schedule so others can attend, but then you end up with overlap. So you end up with side discussions when you can get involved parties together, but then you lose out on getting other community members involved.
