Re: [council] Newcomer Open House -- transcripts of the pilot session that took place yesterday

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Gabi,

that's one of the things that's clear to me from this pilot -- way too much 
Mikey, not nearly enough newcomer-voices.  we committed the "too many topics 
for the time allotted" error in structuring the agenda.  it's pretty clear that 
there is plenty of room for repeat sessions that are revised a bit to fix that 
problem.  there was also pretty strong demand for some followup sessions that 
covered some of the topics in more depth (and again, leave more room for other 
voices on the call).  these are good problems to have.  ;-)

i wanted to clarify one thing -- the recordings are video recordings of the 
Adobe chat, not just audio.  so you'll get the complete experience of the 
session (including the chat, which was pretty lively).
