First of all, it was a great experience, thanks to all the folks who made the Summit possible and of course to all you folks who were there. It was an honor to meet some old and new Maemo folks from all over the world. Organization was really good and the N900 surprise was certainly something to remember for a long time to come.

As for notes...

a) it would have been cool to 'check' presentations we'd like to attend (and see the number and names of folks checked in for a particular session). Would ease planning, coordination between people, and, perhaps most importantly, would allow for dynamic room allocation (the N800 and 770 rooms were full far too often).

b) to ease understanding/session choices and make things more interactive, (optional) pre-publishing of slides/material would also be useful, there were talks that lacked even abstracts this year.

c) Questions overlaping sessions ? Some topics had more questions than other. It's a shame to cut down down a presentation to 20 minutes and then do nothing in the remaining time, or the other way round to hush people on interesting topics because of the next presentation. Not sure how to solve this one, though...

d) allow for pre-session questions. People could post questions pertaining the topic *before* the session, so a lot of things can be answered by the presenter on the go and also to gauge interests within a topic

e) hacking space - yes, the community room could be used for this at times, but we need power and a place with longer opening times !
