Boris hosted an informal Northern Voice Post-Mortem Saturday afternoon to get feedback for next years'.
(Blame Tod for the typos. I can't type fast.)

Wiki
- Maybe we need a wiki-host? -- someone responsible for the wiki, like how Rebecca live-blogs (unofficially and generously).
- Is it the most efficient way to do registrations?
- There should be a screen-cast on how to use the wiki
- Why are there TWO SITES?! (wiki and main site)
- Wiki can be intimidating to newcomers?
- Should we have an email list to promote the next (un-)conference? Non-bloggers probably won't follow the blogs or subscribe to the Moosecamp RSS feed.
Registration
- People want a single sign-up (not just one for the dinner, one for each day, blah blah...)
Human Graphing
- Could have been publicized better
- Maybe shouldn't have been done first thing in the morning?
Day One: BootCamp 101
- Necessary to have - a lot of people are new and could be intimidated from Day Two.
- Some BootCamp presenters seemed to just be "winging it" -- more work on the presentations needed
- Podcasting 101 could have had more practical how-to content (e.g., how to use the Libsyn interface, etc.)
- A "walk-through" isn't necessary per se, but at least some discussion on practicalities
- Presenters should use the wiki more/better
- "What's Next" presentation didn't really talk about what was next, but the topic that emerged was okay with everyone
- Should we develop a ratings-system for expertise level? Seemed to be very different levels in the audiences.
- Beginners/"Newbies": Dunce Cap?
- Intermediate/"Normies": Star?
- Advanced: "Alpha Nerds": Propeller Hat?
- A "jargon-meter"?
- But, shouldn't apply to everything, especially those where breaking up the group into expertise levels might mean there'd only be a handful of each
- Do we even NEED a BootCamp? Does it mean the conference is inaccessible and therefore needs a bootcamp?
Schedule
- Need to do a better job 'splaining the sessions (more descriptive abstracts)
- How are our day-to-day life culturally impacted by all this?
- Titles and abstracts often sound too generic or acedemic.
Steering Committee
- We don't have anyone representing the "newbie" delegates... committee is all aplha-nerds
Random Comments
- "Sheriffs" a cool idea
- We should have a place where people can answer questions from newcomers in advance of the event (on the wiki?)
