Frank­arr: Agenda, or posterity

Videos from ReMIX 07, Post­mix: http://blogs.msdn.com/postmixau/default.aspx

Things to remem­ber for next year’s ReMIX:

  1. Party down in a bet­ter venue, where there is no refurbishments.
  2. Improve gender bal­ance of presenters. Fat, Forty-year-old Fel­las don’t own the web!
  3. Do more “industry” web things in the agenda (thanks Susan from JWT).
  4. Food and ser­vice excel­lent from Crown Prom­en­ade.  Even Lee Brimelow agrees
  5. Podcast/videocast?
  6. Web­Jam needs to be explained bet­ter before­hand, although it will be a brand by next ReMIX.
  7. More lounges, more power points and free wire­less. For the love-of-god, free wire­less. See lolcat below for the visu­ally minded.
  8. Twitter-ers anonym­ous corner where we can meat­space each other
  9. Integ­rate Ima­gineCup a little tighter into ReMIX as an event.
  10. It’s not designer vs / and / or / with developer. It’s mak­ing great online things that does mean­ing­ful stuff for the users. All sorts of people are involved in this; from infra­struc­ture archi­tects to ux people. Need end res­ult back to back-of-envelope plans explained.
  11. Innov­ate your Web Know­ledge. WTF? And don’t get me star­ted on people_ready.

    Just for the cap­tion of the photo: Left to Right is Paul Jen­kins and Will Hughes (me).

    And the reason for the stu­pid expres­sion is that we were try­ing to kill each other in Gears of War on the XBox 360 con­soles that were set up.

    (above copied from my com­ment on Steve Clayton’s blog)

    My only real com­plaint would be that there was no (free) wifi. Oblig­at­ory LOLCat ref­er­ence: http://tinyurl.com/2lr4h3

    The Crown Prom­en­ade provided wifi, but $20 for a day’s access is incred­ibly steep. I’d have rather given up the copy of Expres­sion Web, in return for Wifi.

    I’ll post more on my blog a little later…

    U R the Xbox 360 master.

    Have noted wifi for the record, and will use this blog entry to beat MS mar­ket­ing people over the head for next time.

    Thanks for the kind words Nick, it was great meet­ing you as well :)

    Now to knock Neil back and have you write a JD lyr­ics server (at some point I’ll do some­thing with music to ensure that works, I have a won­der­ful singing voice ;)

    Keep in touch,

    — JD

    So I guess that makes me your third favour­ite NZer then… after Neil and JD ;) Oh and by the way JD is a very pas­sion­ate singer (don’t know about the won­der­ful voice part) — but I couldn’t get him to stop singing while walk­ing through Mel­bourne Cent­ral — so bring on the JD lyr­ics server :) Take care and keep in touch
