Kristen :wave: California... haha... I don't have a name for my car but I know someone who used to have a name for his and it was called the "Brown Hornet" and it was an old car that he hand painted in thick muted (think 60s/70s colors) stripes at an angle... he had a racing harness in the car so he would race it at local non-professional races... he got pulled over a lot by police because of the paint job

It was fab for Dries to be able to spend significant time at the tables chatting with people. They were so thrilled
The live commit went really well. Thanks 
@xjm

Bit challenging how we had to rush in and out at specific times for coffee and food

We need to get into the early comms about the event how the contrib day is absolutely a day to be at the conference. Think we had too many flying that day


James Shields (lostcarpark)
  9 Oct at 21:46
Personally I think they should make Thursday contrib day, and put Driesnote on Friday!

I was disappointed a copy of the new roll-up banner didn't get produced. I'd tried bringing it up a couple of times, but I was hit by Covid in August, so my ability to nag people was greatly reduced. Also, one of the people I'd have been nagging would have been Tim, who was also incapacitated.

The live commit was fantastic. I was mentoring someone on a potential issue for it, but she had to go for her flight. But her issue got merged the week after, so another success!

We seemed to have ample mentors for a change which was nice... I feel like maybe less people (ratio wise) were in the mentored room vs general contribution area... but my understanding is the European event attendees are generally more technical and people with more experience


Rachel Lawson
  10 Oct at 08:48
You are probably correct there, Kristen. But it does mean there is an opportunity to attract more 1st timers

If you are looking for new mentoring coordinators, I would be happy to be added. I still feel a bit of a noob, so would need some mentoring.

I don't want to promise too much -- we're only two weeks away! -- but if there are going to be mentors in the house, we'll do what we can to make use of that.  DM me if you have particular thoughts or needs.  (Or just to say "hi" :slightly_smiling_face: )
