- Hook up to UNCA's Internet connection from the hotel (?)
Social Activities
- Signup sheet for nightly dinner activities
- code4lib brew for the hospitality suite
- code4lib revue?
Sponsorship

Choosing speakers
- Ask people to write why they nominated keynote speakers
- Can we get more gender diversity of keynote & 20 minute talks? (Is this important to us?)
- Do we want to limit the number of speakers from any one organization?

Choosing 2011 venue
- Announce the process early in the conference so that people can get set up with logins
- Reminder during the last day of voting
Integration with IRC
- Consider suggestions from http://pistachioconsulting.com/twitter-presentations/ regarding integration with backchannel.
- e.g. offer speakers help monitoring the channel ('an ombudsman for the audience')
- Advice from dev8 via BenO:
- @davetaz setup projection/feed of the twittered #dev8d tags + @andymcg set up a netvibe channel to follow the tags elsewhere @jschneider Twitter feed screen in bkgd of these photos: http://is.gd/jOwW http://is.gd/jOxd & see @jvvw review of event: http://is.gd/jOxy
- Make it easier for people to find IRC
- "code4lib station" with signup info and help?
- Not everybody multistreams. Would multiple rooms help (reduce volume)? Or...?
Video
- Sync the timecode in the video with the IRC logs
Lightning Talks Do's and Don'ts
- Have an MC/cat herder lined up in advance
- Don't have one entity do two LTs back to back
- Ask those who've already spoken to "go last" (e.g. only present if there's time)-- "share the air"
- Create a LT do's and dont's page in the conference webspace
- link to existing LT advice
- 2 projectors, minimum. 3 if possible (3rd to display backchannels)
List of Interesting things in Asheville, for future reference
see also Google Map, proposal
- The Chocolate Fetish
- Woolworth Gallery (collaborative arts and crafts sale space in an old Woolworth's, with intact, functional lunch bar and a Swedish furniture shop in the basement)
