<p>That is some great feedback, thank you! I don't have any
immediate thoughts myself but just wanted to say that! <br>

<div>Hi all</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some late feedback on Hacktionlab :-) Thanks to every one
involved in putting it on! I met some new people and it was
great to exchange ideas. <br>

<div>However, I'm not super sure that the fluid unconference
style worked as well as it could have done. I can see the
format working well for an event where all attendees will
definitely be on site from the start to the end of the event,
but it didn't work so well within a city. I'd originally
planned to do a talk collaboratively with a friend who wasn't
able to spare the whole weekend, but as the timeslot kept
changing, he wasn't able to make it. I also had friends within
the city who wanted to come and see my talks, but couldn't for
the same reason.<br>
</div>

<div>I'd be interested to hear what the list sees as specific
benefits of the unconference format over a more stable format.

<p>Hi there,<br>
</p>
<p>I want to echo the praise for the weekend and the
organisers. <br>
</p>
<p> I really enjoyed it . :)<br>
</p>
<p>Let's share useful docs on unconferences. <br>
</p>
<p>This one seems good. <br>

<p>My personal additions would be something like...<br>
</p>
<p>- keep nudging people to share ideas - even tentative -
in the week before the event<br>
- have different sizes of post it notes / slips - to
indicate duration / scope of proposal <br>
- print off descriptions from the wiki to help people
decide with more detail what they want to go to<br>
- have as big a space as possible for slots to -
encouraging collaborating on a session<br>
- experiment with different streams in different rooms,
some very technical, some more political / non-exclusive
tech, some totally different (especially outside)<br>
- don't worry too much about how many people will go to
each one or clashes, have decisions around huddles that
you can pull workshop facilitators into <br>

Any chance of the getting Mediawiki upgraded so we have
better editing? "VisualEditor" is built in now. I know
there was also talk of replacing it with something else.<br>
