I was looking around at the scale site for a place to add comments about the event. I found none, so I decided to post on the scale list.
I was going to send an email to this list this week, so this is good timing.
The only thing that was a problem from my point of view was the badge scanning. That was simply hopeless, and almost comically so. It did provide a bit of levity and you would think that people won the lottery from everybody's reaction when the scanner actually did work. Even on Sunday when things were supposedly corrected, most badges didn't scan.
With that one hiccup, I thought the event was otherwise EXCELLENT. I told this to several SCALE volunteers that I saw in person, but let me go on record publicly saying that this was one of the more well-organized conferences I have ever participated in, bar none. This is all the more remarkable because it was organized by volunteers and not by a large, full-time staff.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the volunteers who made this happen. You did a wonderful job and I heard nothing but positive comments. (Well, between the "Why the *&@*! won't this badge scan??" comments. ;-) I know this was hard work, but you managed all the details and made it relatively painless for those of us who participated. We'll definitely be coming next year.
Cheers,
-- Dave
