- Melinda (Pittsburgh): use a Google doc for documentation
- Barry (SF): challenging the distancing from shaping policy - move more into activism
- Harlan : get more lawmakers here
- Michelle (redwood City) : have breakouts for city planners and attorneys, get technologists on those panels around key issues
- get professional credits for attendance (Dave G from Open Data Delaware suggested that there were even such credits for … political aides or something… should check with him)
- Peter (ex government employee): government employees going back to their jobs and arm them with a toolkit to convince co-workers
- Derek (AZ): inclusion needs to continue after the event
- Natalie (Orlando): west coast conferences are harder to travel to for east coasters
