Feedback

What Do We Do Well?

  • GitHub (but there's argument)
  • Four days is more justifiable in costs for flight (x2)
  • Demo Night
  • Support for non-technical members
  • Choose Your Adventure
  • Soft Skills (x2)
  • Productive Outcomes
  • Discussion/recognition of culture biases
  • Pacing: timeline, but not super strict
  • Enough freedom in the schedule
  • More space for introverts

What Can We Improve

  • Should have a GitHub tutorial or helper
  • WEIRD, western, educated, industrial, rich, and democratic, is not representative of planet and we need to expand identity beyond that
  • Intimidating
  • Apologies felt coerced
  • Signal channels feels exclusive
  • Lacking Building Stuff
  • Methodology or facilitation for getting people to work together even if they disagree
  • More focused worktime, without as much moving around: better worked when we had two 1.5 hour sessions in a row, as opposed to two 1.5 hour sessions separated by something else
  • Lack of a printed schedule
  • Continuity of topic papers
  • Wish there were a way to keep talking outside of events
  • Perverse incentive with topic papers, then we come to conference and people are encouraged to work together
  • We don't present our topic papers
  • Terminology, especially with people using different words
  • Announce events sooner
  • Have someone help coordinate
  • We need more sponsorships to help support the workshop
