Thoughts from BarCamp GR 3

  • expand facilities: Prince Conference Center?
  • separate mailing list per year
    • and a master list to advertise following years' events on
    • that way there's no confusion for recipients if they're registered or not, when they get update news about event details
  • request to not use a precious summer weekend, do it in fall
  • schedule time between sessions
  • better visibility & use of request board
