Suggestions (2006)

• Your thoughts here.

Suggestions (from 2005)

1. Slideshow:
   • Projector: Shouldn't you project it on a large screen rather than to show it on a laptop screen? --Jeremy
   • Yes, I'm working on it. NN
   • Graphics: if anything else, a compilation of the images computed by the Grad course on Graphics would be nice?--Jeremy
   • Yes, I'm working on this too. NN
2. Display in fishbowl:
   • Can we collect some research posters to display in the fishbowl? --Jeremy
   • If you would like to take this on, that would be great.NN
   • LOL, people will make less suggestions if they have to assume them! I will see what I can do, time will be short till the 4th for me. Jeremy
3. Name Tags:
   • Group(s): would it make sense to have the Group(s) name(s) on the name tag, so that someone from AC doesn't look too stupid when he is asked an AI question, and vice-versa? -- Jeremy
   • There is a tradeoff between having too little and too much information on a name tag. I doubt that most questions will be about particular areas in CS, so I would lean towards not making this distinction. NN
4. Dressing Code:
   • Should we agree on a common dress code? Should we wear the shirt from the University? Are there some available for those who don't own one? Is it a problem if the people from the Database group wear their group's shirts? --Jeremy
   • I will contact Gayle to see if we can get Faculty of Math shirts for all volunteers. NN
