Editing 2018-07-22 Salon Feedback

This page documents feedback on the first [[2018-07-22 Salon]]. "Things to do different" are at the top of the page, "Things to keep the same" are at the bottom. Responses: Richard, Dan, Robin, Laura, Mike Sangster [4] Bracketed numbers at the beginning of an idea count the idea from multiple people. ==Do different== ===Space=== * Since Dan can't recognize people, have specific instructions for them to find him and introduce themselves. * [5] Bigger Venue * Better seating * [2] Space was too hot & humid * Not very accessible * Maybe think of the Library (Room 301 is good) * Name Tags w/ pronouns for speakers and audience ===Catering=== * the food was divine but untenable - could we afford to do that again? * announce the dedicated compost, recycle and garbage containers ''Compost is always dealt with in the kitchen (Not Out Front) ...Garbage/Recycle containers that can be seen. Our room was so packed it was difficult to see what was available.'' * Bigger proportion of diabetic & heart healthy food ''Possibly cut back on the cheese and add more fruit...even though lots went in the compost at the end...we did not run out....'' ===Speakers=== * Getting the women didn't work out well at all. They all, every single one, except for Lynn, declined or backed out at the last minute. ===Audience=== * Guest Book "Add me to your list" list is almost usless for a number of reasons. Instead we should have had brochures and people could email *us.* * Didn't get enough feedback. Should have had small feedback forms, a desk, and a box to put them in. ===Tech=== * Don't need the slideshow or the music (except at the beginning for fun) * [3] wireless roving mic for quiet speaking people * [2] put the projection screen behind the speakers and Dan brings up the encyclopedia page with photos as people discuss a particular topic * Bring the god damned Elderberries brochures ---- ==Do the same== * The room, food, people, discussions, speakers ... everything was amazing, everyone involved did a wonderful job. * [2] The 10 minute breaks every hour, e.g. sessions were 3:00 - 3:50 * Ask Me Anything buttons were good and good souvenirs. Next time could be distributed with the thank-you kits. * the slide show * no mics
