One thing I noticed from last year's conference was that there was not nearly enough time booked in the venue. Conference centre staff were waiting to clean the room when we were only about 2/3 done. And that was with a social event booked directly after the AGM (which should have caused it to finish early) :) Should probably ensure that the venue is available for at least an hour post the meeting.
I agree with the concept of lightning-talk style reports, but I think that it was valuable having the open question/comment section at the end for general OSGeo organizational discussion. We didn't really have that available at any other time in the program.

Personally, I thought it was great to hear about the interesting mix of reports from local chapters, projects and committees. (I realised at the last moment that sponsors would have been great to hear from too!) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
