* We could have done with chasing up more sponsors. DSE stepped up and offered us some Mandrake CDs, as did Andreas from Yoper, although we didn't end up taking him up on his offer. Next time, we probably should - people can try it out. Other forms of sponsorship can include:
** Network cables
** Power distribution
** Food
+** CDs / Duplication
* Get the room setup entirely the night before. We tried to do this, it didn't work so well due to not really thinking about it in advance. It'd be great if we could get the whole lot set up the night before.
* You will need a phone line into the venue. This was about the only major problem with our last 'fest - so many people had modems to configure, and we couldn't test them.
** It would be great if it was a DSL enabled phone line. For obvious reasons.
* Better advertising. As it turns out, it's kinda good we didn't advertise more, we probably couldn't have handled it.

* Organise different areas of the venue for different foci.
** Put all new installations down one end. This way you don't spread these helpers out so thin, and the new users can (in theory) help each other out as they go along.
** Put all "problems" at another end. You get experienced users sitting with each other, they can help each other get through their problems a lot quicker.
** Or, alternatively, try to alternate new and experience users on desks?
+* Get a CD Duplicator of some description, and try to arrange things so that if you install a version of linux on someones machine, they get to take a copy of the media home with them. Gold coin donation per CD would be adequate I think.

* When sending a thank you email to the mailing list, coordinate it so the president and secretary don't both send one within minutes of each other.
