Indeed, that's the big issue about such a lecture hall... (plus, this environment was near-fatal on Jon's notebook ;-)
I think the lectures are important. We have had lots of discussions anyways, which was a direct result of the number of recesses (which is a good thing). I think occasional lectures are a good thing, as they give us something to discuss....
I'm not so sure about lectures. I have to admit that I wasn't too interested in several lectures (often due to being less involved with Wine now, but sometimes due to knowing that subject anyway - see assembler lecture), so it might have been more useful if there had been a way to find people interested in the areas I'm interested in and discuss some things with them separately (in separate interest/discussion groups).
Other conferences use Birds of a Feather break-out sessions.
Not sure if for the small number of wine developers this is feasible.
Ciao, Marcus
