Actually, I was recommending this approach over the "ad-piece". The
reason is that the first 30-60 minutes of every hackfest always ends
up being an intro tutorial, which tends to waste the time of the
knowledgeable folks in the group.>
I recommended that it would be best to pair a real hackfest with a 30-
minute intro tutorial talk so that folks could spend more of the
hackfest time doing actual work. (And also this should mean that the
experienced folks could have that 30 minutes to attend another
session).
I understand this approach. It would be interesting to get feedback from
this year's hackfests on how much this was a challenge. I think we could
also solve this in future years by having do sessions provide more
guidance on attendee expectations. That wasn't uniform this year.
