Re: Yesterdays Symposium

Excellent teamwork everyone!

Congratulations to Christos, Annika, and Vivienne for a great session 
and for being so well coordinated and prepared. I really enjoyed it.

Your obviously very thorough preparations payed off and allowed you to 
manage even the worst-case scenario. Murphy's laws always apply...

It would be great if you guys could record some of your advice in the 
wiki for future symposium organizers. Here are some of the existing wiki 
pages but feel free to create new ones (and link them) if needed:
  - 
https://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Step-by-Step_Guide_for_Symposium_Chairs/Editors
  - https://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Symposium_Mechanics

Best,
   Shadi
