I hope organizers of future Freedom Software Days will take the venue
into account. Not being a UP alumnus, I have an excuse for having
trouble finding the place. However, when a former UP President says he
also got lost, you've got to wonder about the convenience of the
venue. IMHO, it was too isolated. If we want wider exposure, we can't
hide in the 3rd floor of a building whose main gates were closed. Of
course, I realize that it may have been the only place available --
which, as theaters go, was a nice place nonetheless. I also don't know
what happened after lunch since I had to leave. In any event, I
suggest that the venues for succeeding SFDs be more accessible and
visible.
I hope organizers of future SFDs don't get discouraged by my criticism
-- it's meant to improve future events, not tear down the organizers.
