Premières impressions de LIFT'06.
[en]
Venue: not too much trouble finding it, that was nice. Laurent himself at the ticket desk, that was nice too. Robert Scoble looks younger than I expected (I’m sitting right in front of him, didn’t do it on purpose, promise!).
Missing in the conference room:
- water (no drinks allowed apart from water, and all I have in my bag is orange juice, and I’m really thirsty) Update: thanks to David Galipeau, I’ve found the water fountains now.
- more power strips (yeah, I know)
Missing online (update)
- backchannel? (I’m sitting in #lift06 on chat.freenode.net, just in case)
- live audio?
- people using Bonjour/Rendez-Vous… (I’ve opened and announced a document for collaborative note-taking in SubEthaEdit… just in case, feel free to join if you’re at the conference).
I have a huge problem: I totally suck at understanding non-native speakers talking in English (particularly francophones). Isn’t that amazing, given I’m a francophone myself?

ben ca va te plaire, un petit feedback de la tsr à 12:45, je cite “… ou les blog, ces fameux journaux intimes en ligne…”
mmh un blog, c’est bien un journal intime?
yeah I was wondering about the water as well, and I couldn’t find the toilets.. well maybe that’s just me and a lady’s need
Toilets aren’t really straightforward to find, you need to get lost in the corridors first…
Hi, I couldn’t find you collaborative notes on SubEthaEdit by following the link in your post - can you post it again? Thanks

[…] Ah oui! Bruno a aussi attiré notre attention (je suis assise à côté de l’équipe de lift06) sur le fait qu’il y avait des fontaines à eau dans la salle et des points d’alimentation pour laptops dans la salle. (Il se souvient des mes premières impressions de lift06…) […]
[…] Positive: overall nice atmosphere and people, good networking, excellent food, saw old friends again and made new ones, was blown away (like many others) by Hans Rosling’s presentation (both by the numbers he gave and the software. I liked the venue, thought the sizing was right (small enough to encourage people to communicate, without being cramped). Break food/drinks were nice (even if there was no bottled water). Somebody said something nice about my brief panel contribution. Impressed at Loïc organising something this big in so little time. […]
