Hey John,

To be perfectly frank, the whole session format leaves something to be desired.

There are very few topics I can sit for 75 minutes and have someone lecture me with PPT slides and actually learn anything. To me, the current DevCon session formats are really only suitable for previews and overviews.

I'd like to see sessions where attendence was limited to 20 people. Everyone brings a laptop and the presenter leads everyone through the topic hands on with the last 20 minutes or so instructor-led experimentation with the topic.


>Y'all are making the point. I for one get tired of seeing the same people present time after time. For one thing, as a presenter, you get burned out. Some folks don't know when to hang it up. As an individual, you have a few viewpoints. In the beginning, it is innovated and refreshing. After a while, it gets old, stale, and pathetic.
