Re: Social Event (was Re: Discuss GNOME.Asia program)



Chandni,

Your original email was not about social events. That was my point.  :)

Social events in and of themselves are fun.

If we get enough support from the committee members for a social event, seeing the strength of developer participants for a football match in last years of GUADEC, I think it is going to attract a lot of them here too! 

Srini from our committee likes footboall too! :)

Ideas?

Sammy,

I really think we should see how it goes.  Lightning talks have been a very popular feature for the conference in past years. Making it a less "formal"  part of the Summit could hurt interest.

Hrm. Less formal? Need more ideas?

PS: I hate football since only men take part in it so no need to make that a ritual!

Hi all,

I think it depends to number of full talks we accepted.

If we accepted many full talks, we should reserve more slots for them and then we cannot reserve 1 classroom for lightning talks.

Dear ALL:

for Emily suggestion:

re-edit the program, let lighting talks for one room.


Best regards
