Hi. Good thinking.
I'd just make two additional points:
1) irc is preferred especially if we can find a web link somewhere so they
don't _have_ to install an irc client, but can just use a browser.
2) Having people accomplish a real task, which the community appreciate,
makes for a better experience, and makes it more likely they will actually
stay. So it would probably be a good idea to start thinking about real tasks
that attendants can accomplish.
And bonus points if we can make this a group task where all attendants (incl
us) already form a sub-community and ending the day/week with some real
product. This way we also show this important and cool side of foss/kde. It
will require some more pre-planning from our side, but I think it will be
worth it.
