We all expect that the next confrence to attract more visitors,
more speakers. How to change Warpstock conference and make it successful,
make it "grow"?
Step 1: The conference starts in 12 monthes before D-Day.
The developers declare what they will make during the year.
And declare what presentations they will show.
The conference is not simple meeting of people,
this is the meeting of people which were working during the whole year
and preparing materials for the conference.
// The speakers don't describe something what exist and was created by
other people. They make work by themselves and then present the results
of own work.
Conclusion: the list of presentations should be available in advance,
in 6 monthes. So the visitors can prepare for the trip, prepare questions.
And the speakers have time to make efforts to complete the projects for D-Day.
Fix 2: It's very-very hard listen the presentations in the second part of day.
All people are tired, sleepy and go away too early.
How to fix this? It's necessary make other kind of meetings.
For example, workshops with the developers. No slides, alive chat only.
Everybody can make the questions and discuss the detailes.
Let's say, the workshops are organized in 2 rooms
and five developers sit there.
