I liked this in Gdańsk, but for an event the scale of HK it would take a lot of time!
Agree that some kind of central display of the formal and informal schedules would be very useful. And a big clock :)
Perhaps if we have another big screen, an occasional "everything happening now/in an hour" display?

Hey,Regards, Maarten
remember Wikimania Gdansk. After each plenary session in the morning, the organisators asked all presentors to introduce their talk in about 1 min. A great way to get a quick overview of what's happening.

I had problem to find several "break" meetings due to lack of any off-line information regarding it. I mean a kind of "oldschool" blackboard or flipchart standing on Logo Square with information where and when there are meetings could easily solve this problem. I missed 2 meetings (EU policy and teahouse) and joined one just because I spotted Asaf talking to group of the people) just because there was no clear information where it is.
2013/8/14 Lodewijk <lodewijk@effeietsanders.org>_______________________________________________Hi all,reading back through my mailbox, I encountered huge amounts of announcements (mostly by Wikimedia Deutschland) about events taking place in breaks of Wikimania. Without wanting to form an opinion about that just yet, I would like to ask what you think about having many side events going on in the break/breakfast/evening.I personally am a bit caught between wanting to do as much as possible in the limited time, and feeling that there was basically no break at all (contributing to the exhaustion), because every break people were basically asking you to attend break sessions. For some of them that is the only choice (they intend to be informal), others probably belong primarily in the schedule (assuming they were interesting).Anyway, just a conversation starter to evaluate the concept of break events a bit more in general (I assume the chapters village etc in particular will be evaluated separately too).Looking forward to your thoughts,Best,Lodewijk
