notes for next FAD

  • overall: perfect place, perfect agenda, perfect Orga! --wonderer 10:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
  • for a little bit better remote attendee: beam the IRC on an extra Beamer to the wall
  • record Conference Call (maybe topic selective)

--wonderer 10:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Next time we should have a narrower focus and a single deliverable spec'd out ahead of time - the breadth of topics was good for a first FAD to give us an idea of where we stand, but I would do (for instance) a 2-day FAD only on the Brand Book for a 2nd round. Mel Chua 12:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
