Hi all,
Yesterday members of the organising team did a bunch of site visits.
Javier, Lene, Sam and I went to some potential venues for social
events. I also went to the conference and unconference venues.
I've added some notes and photos to the wiki, with the details of what
we found out:
* https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/SocialEvents
* https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/Unconference
I also have some more personal thoughts about the venues that I wanted
to share before I forget them!
Main venue
This is really fantastic; possibly the best GUADEC venue I've ever
seen. Odd thoughts:
* There's a water fountain; which raises the possibility of
selling/giving away branded water bottles for people to fill
* If they'll let us put them in, there's space for ping pong or table
football. Having some games around could be fun!
* It might be nice to have picnic blankets, deck chairs or bean bags
on the lawn in front of the venue.
* We ought to find out where we can hang banners, both inside and
outside.
* I didn't see any notice boards, so we ought to find out if they have
any mobile ones we can use. There are a bunch of things we might want
to put on them.
* I didn't get chance to find out about local places to get coffee
from; it would be good to have some places to recommend.
The Shed
This will be the venue for the unconference/BoF days, and is a great
space for the purpose.
One issue we might have is that there aren't that many separate rooms -
we have a total of three spaces, two of which are quite large. We can
subdivide them, but noise could be an issue. Likewise, it might be hard
to devote separate spaces to workshops while the BoFs are going on. We
should probably decide early on how we want to split up the space, as
this might determine what kind of activities we can organise.
The people at the shed are well connected with the local digital scene,
so we ought to reach out to them when we have materials to circulate.
Allan
