Following Up on LinuxCon Japan Workshop

Hello everyone, I'd like to collect feedback from everyone on last week's oVirt workshop at LinuxCon Japan. [0] Please reply back with comments by close of business this Friday, 15 June. Once we have gathered feedback on list, I'll capture it on the oVirt wiki. We can then use what we've learned to help construct the agenda and other plans for other upcoming oVirt workshops at LinuxCons. [1] If you know that you would like to volunteer as an instructor for future workshops or would like to suggest alternate content for the workshop, please include that in your feedback. - Course Material What sessions were most well received? Which ones require improvement? Any additional sessions we'd suggest? - Audience Participation How many attendees? How did the Q&A periods go? Would we like to prepare a post-event attendee survey? (I recommend we do the survey and can prepare some questions for the group if that's useful.) - Developer/user traction resulting from engaging at workshop Did this workshop help us to gain new developers or users? Reinforce relationships with existing community members? - Promotion of the event, both before and after What could be done to more effectively promote the event prior to the workshops? Videos and slides from the workshop should be posted on the LC Japan site tomorrow; what action would the community like to take to promote this content? - A/V and Room Set up Did the seating arrangements work well for the workshop format? Did the A/V work well, including the videotaping process? - Food and beverage Did the catered in lunch help to keep the flow of the workshop productive? Was the food of good quality and in keeping with the needs of attendee dietary constraints? - Give aways We did not produce attendee gifts for the oVirt workshop. Thoughts on whether this would be a welcome addition in the future? Suggestions for type of gift also welcome. - Any other feedback If it is preferable to discuss this feedback real-time, I will ask Mike Burns to give us more time for this topic during next week's oVirt IRC meeting.
