Solmukohta 2012
Greetings from Finland.
First I'd like to introduce the team that will make Solmukohta 2012. There will no doubt be some additions later but at present we have:
Massi Hannula & Tiina Rantamaa - Program
Atte Iiskola - Logistics
Maija Kangasniemi - Infodesk
Pauliina Männistö - IT
Laura Turpeinen Databases
We've started the planning of the 2012 event, and as we're trying to make the event as awesome as possible, some questions have risen that we'd like to ask from possible participants of Solmukohta before we make any decisions. (Of course we will try to learn from KP11 as well.)
1) Days for the event: four days, three nights of course. But would you prefer it to be from thursday to sunday or from friday to monday. First one is traditional and it might be easier for some people to have their vacation from monday to sunday, but the flights are usually a bit cheaper on mondays than on sundays so the latter one might save some money. Which one you find more important?
2) Pre-sign-up for the programs. Both Norway 2009 and Sweden 2010 as well as Höjdpunkt and Prolog used this, also with lectures. Did you felt that it was a good thing to be able to sign up before the event and did program organizers feel that most of the people who had signed up beforehand show up. (Of course Eyjafjallajökull caused some unfortunate cancellations.)
3) Sweden had the lovely Show, not tell -theme, and Norway before that had a strong emphasis on games as well as they specially stated before KP09 that they want more games that year. Do you feel that this is the way we should head? Less talk - more actual doing, or do you wish to see more talks and panels and less games.
4) Any other comments about things you wish to see in the event 2012 are welcome. The whole team will read this forum, so if you feel like posting your feelings or opinions, we would definitely appreciate it. As we simply can't do it all alone. :)
From Finland with Love
