 +======  The Aftermath AKA Lessons Learned ====== 
 +
 +  * less talks/agenda items per day
 +  * shorter agenda items, longer breaks after each item:
 +    * no item longer than 45 minutes, **evahr**
 +    * **minimum** 20 minutes of break after **every** agenda item - try to schedule longer (25-30min) breaks if possible. You //need// this as a buffer zone when a talk goes longer than expected, so the audience has at least another 10 minutes of the break left. Ignore this advice, and the next talk //will// suffer. Hard.
 +  * never ever schedule two talks back to back. //It is **VERBOTEN, SCHWEINHUND!**//
 +  * Absolutely do not give in to Mike#1 when he wants additional talks added! ;-)
 +  * move talks to the evenings/nights
 +    * easier wrt/ projector
 +  * schedule coding sessions during daytime
 +    * needs no projector
 +    * can take place outside if weather permits
 +  * Entertainment event/sightseeing
 +    * should be around dinner (before or after is less relevant, though afterwards is recommended)
 +    * only one event per day
 +    * none on departure day
 +    * an entirely optional one on arrival day
 +  * Lunch vs. Dinner
 +    * go for a short lunch break (20-30 minutes) and a long dinner break (60-90 minutes)
 +    * make sure there is ample time to sit together and discuss things after dinner - // With no computers present! **¡Muy importante!** //
 +  * remember that //birds of a feather flock together// (no, this is **not** about a BoF meeting), so try to match people with similar interests in a way that they share the same 
 +    * hotel room, 
 +    * hotel floor,
 +    * or at least the same hotel building (This will be especially important for Treuchtlingen, where our accomodation is not centralized as it was at Linuxhotel)
