    I want this format every time.  Please consider 2 enhancements:

      - A/C around the perimeter for laptop power
      - beverages available (at least pitchers of water) all day

There actually was a terminal room, hidden around the corner to the left as you walked away from registration. I went there exactly twice, to pick up printouts for the PGP session (once would have been nice, but my laptop crashed and I was late for a meeting, so had to go back afterward).


I definitely agree that the all-day "cookie room" was a great idea, and I'd very much like to see this sort of thing again. It could do with a few more tables and power than we had this time, and an all-day supply of water or beverages would be good, too.

Of course, the potential negative aspect is that folks who aren't attenting the session right before a cookie break can "camp out" and grab cookies right as they arrive. But, that can happen anywhere...
