short roundup: wanau brisbane
- 70 attendees based on a head count, the sign-in list was voluntary so it has a slightly lower count.
- Five presentations from four speakers; plus an official opening from the Griffith University PVC Information Services and a welcome from the Chair.
- A few minor panics for the organiser (all resolved).
- No take-up of the IRC option; I'm thinking this is a result of not promoting it well enough, low usage of IRC amongst attendees (many didn't know what IRC was) and the event's short duration. No big deal :)
- I'm told it went rather well, although as the organiser I didn't get to actually sit down and enjoy it :)
- Overall... success!
Here's hoping next time I run an event I don't have to spend the previous week trying to coordinate it from a laptop in a hotel lobby :)
I did actually think of following it on IRC. But 3-5 am on a monday was just a bit too hard for me...
Glad it went well. These things are remarkably valuable.
Cheers
Chaals
