GEC12 Community Feedback

Notes from GEC attendees' feedback at wrap up session. Notes below represent individual opinions, not the consensus of a group. Notes include both public comments during the session and private verbal comments at the close of the session.

• Tutorials should hide fewer details.
  • Pushing a button that does all the work under the covers misses the point of learning about GENI.
  • In private feedback, a different attendee disagreed, advocating for keeping at least the introductory tutorials simple.

• Online agenda is weak
  • Should include locations of sessions
  • Sessions should be webcast (both simulcast and recorded for later viewing).
  • In private feedback, two additional attendees requested that video recorded at GEC12 be posted and an announcement sent to the community.
  • Format of posted conference agenda (a large image file) is poorly chosen.

• Conference participant list should be made available electronically (USB drive or online posting).

• GEC should establish a venue for electronic sharing of photos from the conference.

• Consider revamping the wrap-up session into a "Coming Attractions" format.
  • Avoid predictable session summaries.
