Likes and Dislikes at conferences

[talmage]

I like it when the speakers are enthusiastic and have rehearsed enough that they don't need notes. I do that whenever I speak because it gives my audience something of value. It's the worst when a speaker isn't prepared or reads his text in a monotone voice. That wastes my time and money.

At QtDD, I'd like more opportunities to see other people's applications in development.

Also, there has to be a way to provide reliable WIFI to the entire conference.

Seems like an unnecessary expense. Is that why the fees are so high? I guess it depends on the country.

How interesting. Body sushi conference. I won't ask.

[quote author="GordonSchumacher" date="1291232854"]One thought I'd like to offer is that it seems like there are some "glue" technologies that have not really been covered sufficiently in panels (at least not in recent years).[/quote]

I just got another good one: a panel covering the usage of the advanced data-related classes (QAtomic*, QPointer, QShared, QThreadStorage). It's not always clear which is the right one to use, and there's some unexpected gotchas.

I think we need some "opera singing by the talented MC":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2345. :)

She said she refuses to sing in public, so somebody has to take to the conference some loud speakers and plug them to the phone. :)

I imagine that could be arranged. :)
