It would be nice to have a mini schedule on the back of our name tags for quick reference.

Tad, how do I add the CCA icon to my profile? I don't see a way to do that anywhere in the My Account interface…

Kevin, we just added it for you. We are in the process of going through the community and handing out the appropriate badges.

Thanks!

OK, a real NUC feature request: Make all of the slides from all of the presentations available for download.

Great job on the new format this year!

This may sound silly but I felt the end of the conference was a bit anticlimactic. We needed some sort of lowering of the JAMF NUC flag or snuffing of the JAMF NUC cauldron. Something to close out the conference.

More thoughts:

• Arrange the schedule so that the NUC ends with a long large lunch when folks can chat, say goodbye and prepare for returning home.


• Add presenter names and descriptions to the schedule.


• Use JAMF Nation as a means for folks to indicate they'll be attending the NUC or other JAMF events.

I would like to mention the lack of Bacon at the Bacon social.

I like the idea of having a closing lunch as well.

All and All I had a blast and came back overflowing with new Ideas and new contacts within the Community.

GREAT JOB JAMF!!!

The CCA badge is a great idea but does that mean I'll lose my handsome baby picture?

"Arrange the schedule so that the NUC ends with a long large lunch when folks can chat, say goodbye and prepare for returning home."

I really like this, and it could be used to solve the point of the NUC not having a closing session of some sort. We all get to have one last meal before departing and Chip (or whoever) can grab a PA system to wrap up the NUC neatly.

"The CCA badge is a great idea but does that mean I'll lose my handsome baby picture?"

Nope, you'll get the best of both worlds!

To me, I'd have spaced a bit of the day three content out to day one. I found the topics a bit light for day one and there was some really great stuff for day three that I missed due to schedule conflicts.

And tell the Guthrie that SeaChange needs to carry Goldschlager.

If I get a chance to go again I would almost prefer to run a couple of lab sessions for bash/python scripting to give people more of a hands on crash course rather than just a presentation.

Though no way I can tell where I will be next year.

Sure there is - Minneapolis. :)

I thought the flow and organization of the NUC went well, I do like the idea of a closing lunch or something to formally bring the event to and end.

I would really like the company that attendees work for listed below their name. It makes it easier to find people that may be in a similar industry. A closing ceremony would be great as well. I would appreciate having somebody record the sessions. Oh and could I get the CCA tag added to my profiles as well. Thanks JAMF for a great conference.

In response to jhbush1973 I know in some cases people could not say what company they were from. Perhaps they could offer that with an opt out ability at registration.

Myself from an OPSEC perspective, I'd rather see no Org names. However, I see why people would want them and would like to see it as an opt-in. If it's only an opt-out, we all in sensitive positions stick out like sore thumbs.

I like the opt-in idea. Keeps people without company name listed from easily being singled out.

What a great event. The 1st one in 2010 was good but this was head and shoulders better. Kudos to the JAMF folks!!

1) Like the idea of opt-in company name (city, state, country a bonus)
2) I'd like to see a survey right before the event where you select the topics you plan to attend. Give the event folks a chance to make sure the rooms are large enough (or offer it more than once).
3) Birds of a Feather is a great idea and way to share information. Not sure how each location went but we didn't find anywhere to sit with other JAMF attendees. Maybe next year in restaurants with reserved banquet rooms or have a longer lunch one day and do it during the conference.

But all in all a great event. Superb speakers and topics. Can't wait for the 2012 event!

This was a great conference. Great work, JAMF!

A couple suggestions which echo those above:

1) Videotape sessions & put them online. And/or put the slides online.

2) Get attendees to sign up for sessions a few days before the conference so that the more popular sessions can perhaps be moved into bigger rooms.

I'd put my vote in for a longer conference with with sessions that are designed to dovetail - something along the lines of JSS Fundamentals, Mac and mobile fundamentals, and then maybe something along the lines of 'CJA light'.

Fundamentals- Imaging, Packaging, Policy/Scoping, Scripting in the JSS

Hands on Labs- Implementation of the fundamentals

Real World (Stump the Chumps, Specific Solutions: How JAMF customer X handled problem Y, JAMF Advanced Solutions Series)

CJA Light - CJA Like BootCamp or something similar for folks who are just getting started or want to brush up

Longer sessions, with multiple instances running (ex. Zen and the Art of packaging running each day at 9a, to ensure that everyone can fit it into their schedule) to ensure that folks can attend would help reduce the cost of choosing a session on Day 1 if there are other sessions that only run on day 1.

I'd like to have the opportunity to see a few topics through from start to finish - and others I just wanted to drop in on.

If the JAMF customer testimonial sessions were reduced in length and constantly running in a particular room or rooms - that would help split the conference between teaching concepts, hands on training, and the real world scenarios.

Great conference, just needed some bigger rooms for some of the sessions.

More awesome community driven sessions! Some of the best sessions, both the ideas for them and the content, came from the community. If you have ideas for sessions for next year and would like to volunteer to present make sure to let us know!

We need a JAMFs vs Community kickball game or some such silliness.

Sure that too! That Gold Medal Park next door seemed prime :)
