How not to run a townhall: - Don't sit up on a stage distant from the audience - Don't sit up on a stage where you can't see the agenda - Don't sit up on a stage blinded by the lights so you can't see *anything* - Don't compete with free beer
OK, so it was worth trying but I don't think the session was worthwhile. Given how many attended (and who) in retrospect we would have been better just grabbing some chairs in the middle and chatting. Oh well, maybe next time - and this message is partly so that next time it'll go better. (The session at the summit in Santa Cruz last year went pretty well, but that was in a significantly different context.) I got a huge amount out of the trip overall, but I suspect there weren't that many community members at C1 - and many of the Sun people were probably tied up with other stuff anyway. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
