## Retrospective
Allan:
* Booth:
* Generally worked well
* T-shirts: need more extra-large/large/medium unisex, fewer women's cut (sad)
* T-shirts: people really wanted them to have the GNOME logo on them; not all of ours did
* When selling t-shirts it was hard to know what stock was remaining. If we have a stock tracking sheet it would be good if it showed the starting number of items.
* Would be good to have a more interactive demo - a game on a laptop?
* If we have a phone to show off, it would be good to have some signage to say what it is and invite people to try it
* We didn't get many Friends of GNOME signups. Could/should we push it harder next year? (Banners, talking points, signage explaining the program, advertise the Friends of GNOME t-shirts more, etc etc)
* We had multiple requests for socks
* We should consider refreshing the banner.
* Social:
* Pommodoro seemed to work pretty well? It's really helpful that we can be approximate with the number of people, and that everyone can pay individually. It was just a shame we had to leave at 10pm. Also there weren't many opportunities to mingle
* It might have been better to have had a more explicit start time.
* Delirium wasn't a fantastic venue for the drinks afterwards. Too loud and annoying.
* Newcomers workshop:
* Let's do some advance planning next time :D
