>----INTERNET CONNCECTIONS > >5) WERE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDED? >
Yes.
>6) WAS IT HELPFUL TO HAVE THE iBOOKS AVAILABLE AT THE WORKSHOPS > AND FOR EMAIL ACCESS?
Not to me.
>----ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORTATION: > >7) DID YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH HOTEL ACCOMMODATION?
No.
>8) WERE HOTEL CHARGES AS YOU EXPECTED?
Much higher than what I'd have expected for a mere user group meeting. Not higher than what I'd have expected for a luxury resort on Hawai'i.
>9) DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSPORTATION?
Not more than what would have to be expected for going half round the world.
>----HOW COULD CONFERENCES BE BETTER ORGANIZED: > >10) COMMENTS?
Find a place (maybe make a survey?) to which more people would come.
It's a pity that any average Dante meeting has twice as many participants as a TUG 25 years anniversary world conference.
>----OTHER: > >11) REMARKS
I'd have liked to have a `real' organised social programme like what you have on other conferences, especially as there would have been ample opportunity for that on Hawai'i.
