This is an old revision of the document!
Suggestions and checklist
- Get a list of names of attendees (an email addresses) in advance
- Limit the numbers if you don't have a reasonable ratio of mentors to attendees (suggested max 1:4)
- Mail attendees the day before to remind them to bring laptops (and possibly power supply and ethernet cable)
- Ask attendees (with any other OS than Windows) to try and download and compile PHP in advance (to check that they have a build env't)
- Make sure that the location has network connection (wireless/ethernet)
- Pick an area to test in advance and let the attendees know so that they can do some preparation.
- If you pick something that has pre-reqs (eg database, libraries) prepare some samples and make sure that people know to install the pre-reqs.
- Either at the event or in advance have someone give a short talk on the extension and show example of how to use it
- Be prepared for network failure - have copies of PHP source, Windows builds and docs on a stick.
- Find a local source of beer for *after* the event
This is all we thought of for the London one, I expect I'll add to it after the London event with all the things we forgot
