</tr>
<tr>
<td>Phil Frilling</td>
<td>It seemed like there was good attendance in the morning and then it waned as the day rolled on. The coverage of the booth had a similar feel.Would it make sense to have a bit more structure in planning for this? A sign up sheet for blocks of time?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick)</td>
<td>yes - we generally have a sign up sheet, but not that many people actually showed up...</td>

<table>
<tr>
<td>AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick)</td>
<td>I would have loved to see better attendance here. I feel if mentors helped tag issues they knew they could help with, then picking something to work on during the sprint would have been more straightforward.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Chris Darke</td>
<td>Indeed! Triage always suffers from lack of attendance, maybe if we make a bigger effort to say “you need to come to triage” or we run a few more sessions</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Kristen Pol</td>
<td>I felt pretty distracted doing this during DrupalCon tbh... plus I wasn't prepared and only had my phone... then I forgot to even search using the tag during mentored sprints o_O I was focused on bugsmash mostly so we were looking through those... plus a lot of the people I was mentoring actually had some experience in the issue queue so it was a bit different than totally novice</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Kristen Pol</td>
<td>If we had enough mentors, we could actually have a few people doing triage the first hour of mentored contribution before it picks up from the new recruits</td>

<td>One of the people I mentored brought a laptop that could not run Docker, and we had trouble getting DrupalPod set up for him. I need to spend some time working out the DrupalPod kinks.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Phil Frilling</td>
<td>Agree that attendance at the workshops was great and the contribution room was too far away.I also need to become more familiar with Drupalpod.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Chris Darke</td>
<td>We all need to practice and check on drupalpod weeks before to make sure any changes/issues/etc are resolved.. I did let this drop because we have become a bit complacent with it generally working fairly well!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gregg Marshall</td>
<td>My two concerns were the workshop and mentored contribution room being effectively in two separate buildings, splitting our greeting efforts. And the clear name tags were hard to read once affixed, I much prefer the white "Hello my name is" tags.</td>
