Two comments though: 1) Make sure to involve the perl 6 people (this might involve some harassing), this year Liz was the only one. They're doing somewhat similar things in a vacuum, it would be helpful for them to not repeat some of our mistakes. 2) Have some kind of post-dinner plan. It seems people ended up in different pubs without knowing where the rest was. This decreases chances for useful evening-time discussion. Something as simple as a designated pub for the evening could be helpful. Leon
