Could someone provide transport/lodging suggestions/directions for a carless soul coming from the south? I'd be interested in carpooling if anyone's going by the Santa Barbara area.

 

Could anyone pick up an individual at the Santa Clara or San Jose Amtrak?

Anyone coming from that direction?

Postmortem Notes

 

nicely full, good space for a devhouse

populated but not crowded

without the upstairs, number of people were perfect

power and chairs were perfect

lightning talks

- cold, windy, but tent was great

network was awesome (QoS) modulo a few people

- tom: qos could use a little tuning

food: could have used just a little more, quality was decent

- PISTACHIOS / SUNFLOWER SEEDS BAD IDEA

 

joel - not much greeting done, good conversations

- tim fitz will help greet at next devhouse

"a really cool mix of people"

First congressional candidate! neat!

 

kitt's list for next time should include:

 - mexican coke, diet coke

 - tape and ice

 - NAMETAGS

 - more toilet paper!

 - more luncheon sized plates

 - more beer - maybe a keg?

 

Need Official DevHouse Signage (Joel will make a PDF)

 

Nobody liked the lights out "Earth hour".

Could do Rockband upstairs next time - people like rockband, but is loud

background ambient music would have been nice

having the piano played was very nice

Miesha - people were a little less messy than usual

(add miesha to devhouse planner list - DONE)

 

ANNOUNCE THE SHDH CALENDAR TO THE LIST (dates and GENERAL locations) (DONE)

 

May want kegs next time? 2xpony?

Joel - "prep" page for lightning presenters?

Good presentations are: "i need help with X"

Let's publicise the schedule (timing for dinner, presentations, etc) in advance, if possible.

 

We should send Tom's Mom to a day spa, but not during the event. ;)

 

Miesha - the gas stovetop knobs should be taped off for safety.
