[Debconf-team] [content] Adhoc sessions feedback

2015-08-29 Thread Maximiliano Curia
Hi, This is the first of a series of threads about making the content team more public, documenting things that were done and things that can be improved. This year we did an unconference-like experiment regarding the adhoc sessions, setting two flipcharts near the front desk that listed the
