Karaoke was pretty amazing in Desktop Summit, and due to breaks allows a casual atmosphere and chats. It also engages the crowd and is interactive, entertaining and exciting. Dancing to a DJ anybody could do in any of the great clubs Berlin has, but I think this needs to be more of a close community event where we can get to know the members in singing even if its off-key :)
