Hi,

Takk for sist, all! (no English equivalent).

Another great FSCONS has come to an end, here are some thoughts:

The lunches this year are the best ever, we must use the same 
people/caterer next year! :-)

I don't know the final number of participants, but it seems it 
built itself up towards the end? There were some uncertainty that 
there would be few people the last couple of weeks before the 
conf. I suggest we actually pay a professional marketing person 
for a few hours work next year. It is actually a profession based 
on science and education, and I suspect a few "tweaks" of 
professional marketing could have a great impact on attendance, 
including raising the number of early birds. Maybe a marketing 
student towards the end of their study can do a case test or a 
few hours of paid work for FSCONS. It may cost money, but then it 
brings in more money in terms of increased attendance.

I'm getting the slides from the presentations in the p2p track on 
saturday and the yellow track on sunday, and putting them up in 
frab. Are other track organizers/presenters doing the same, or is 
there some other system for getting the slides from all the 
presenters? (I can ask more of the presenters while I'm at it, 
but it may be best that they get the request from the person they 
know/who invited them.)

Thomas
