Hi, So criticism was expected? I understood as a set-in-stone decision :) Just from an organizational PoV: having the core days in the first day (aka August 2nd) with the joint conference (so ~1000 attendees) I think it's a terrible idea! This year's GUADEC with the two pre-conference days were wonderful in terms or setting everything up, not just the registration desk per-se, but the network, the signaling, getting all the volunteers around and up to speed ... So in short, one day as registration/pre-conference/hackfest/BoF day it should be a must for all conferences that everyone expects to run smoothly. Just my 5 cents and 5 years behind the info-desk (as a pleasure!)
