Personally I would love a more dynamic party, karaoke, instruments for the maemo musicians will be a plus, I also discourage very loud music and techno/trace music, rock/pop will fit better with the expected audience IMO.

Thoughts ?
Important things for a great party:
  1. Inside space for people who want music & dancing, outside space for people who want conversation
  2. Activities for fun - Wii tournament or Guitar Heroes or Karaoke (last 2 can substitute for music)
  3. Beer & food (although food not required)
  4. Places to lounge around & mingle with people who you don't know
  5. Late start the following day

Another idea for fun stuff: sumo wrestling: http://www.morfabaywales.co.uk/sumo.html - I've seen this be fun before, for about the first two hours of the evening (then the novelty wears off). Alternative suggestion: wait until midnight to start the sumo wrestling, when people are already a little plied with drink.

Ideas ?

What are your opinion about last year party ?
I liked last year's party - except the mood was pretty subdued inside, Karaoke might help there, as would the wii (with 4 wiimotes). I did bow out pretty early (around 1am) tired & wary of the day after, mind...

Cheers,
Dave.
