Thoughts on LinuxWorld 2005

[Thomas Wood <thos gnome org>]

Firstly, many thanks to everyone that came along to help out. It was 
great to meet so many new people getting involved. It definitely felt 
busier and more lively than the previous year.

What we need to do now is gather as much feedback comments from 
everyone as we can such as what was successful and what could we 
improve for next time. What sort of comments did we have from the 
people we talked to. What were they interested in talking about? Some 
of the new things at this expo were the GNOME event box, the LiveCDs  
and (although only on the second day) the GNOME t-shirts. Were these 
things helpful? What could we do to get the most from the resources we 
have? If we can get a good write up together, it would be really useful 
to other people organising these kind of events. I'm sure it'd make an 
interesting article for gnomejournal.org too!

And just in case anyone around on the last day was wondering... two 
taxis, a train, some general lugging about and a couple of pints later, 
the GNOME event box did manage to get back to Reading safely!
