I'm in the (voluntary) conference business for several years now, working on 2+ technical conferences a year (mostly Unix/Linux related), and after each single conference, the orga team finds some new bugs and improvements for the next time. But the most important thing IMHO is, to get the idea started at the first place. And this you did! > Given the above, I agree with Roman Strobl, that a guide for > conference organiser should be made. I volunteer to give my > experiences. Anoyne there to help? We're running an osdevcon-discuss Mailing list on opensolaris.org. This was initially to discuss things on and around OSDevCon, but why not discuss there, how to make good community driven OpenSolaris conferences all over the world and learn from each other. There is already a short discussion in the archive about how to improve OSDevCon, which was started shortly after the 2nd OSDevCon (June 2008, Prague): http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/osdevcon-discuss/ You'll find the discussion in the July 2008 archive. Some older threads in the archive are worth a reading as well.
