[CREATE] LGM2010: Stuff that you liked and stuff not

[ricardo lafuente]

Adding to what has been said:

Things i loved:
- Little details that made this feel less like a tech conference: not 
being in a (technical) university, aprons instead of t-shirts, funky 
badges with wacky 'roles', carefully chosen menu that respected most 
culinary sensibilities (life's easier when you eat creatures)
- Smaller and more specific BOF's like Inkscape Power Stroke, where user 
feedback regarding a possible interface for a nascent tool was welcomed, 
this was a thrilling experience for me
- General absence of all kinds of "bad" situations (good organisation 
tends to be invisible :-)
- *Great* tech support for the talks. I don't know the name of the tech 
guy, but he's got my unconditional love. Everything worked (afaics)
- LGM Magazine -- publishing sprints work well
- Video interviews, i'm dying to see the result

Things that could be made better next year:
- Real-life bug that affected quite a few people, my throat is still 
sore (where can i report it?)
- Contact microphones would allow speakers to move better and avoid the 
hand-on-mike pose -- that would have the added effect of making the 
recordings look like TED talks ;o)
- Live blogging by a dedicated team?
