I don't quite recall that being an issue, but I could have just tuned it out. I'm a parent, that's what we do. :-) *rimshot!*<div><br></div><div>But seriously,how much of that was a function of the doors being open during sessions? I DO recall most of the session rooms being open as sessions were going on. Most other cons/camps I've been to have had their session room doors closed. Would closing the doors fix it? From the standpoint of how university classrooms are designed, I'd think so. Also, we may be in another building next year at TAMU. But the fact that they WANT PyTexas there is huge.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But that gets back to the whole issue of "conference UX" and "force multipliers". The less time we have to spend making sure basic infrastructure is working, the more time can be spent on UX issues like making sure room doors are closed while sessions are in progress. That would impact UX for people AT the con, as well as the sound quality of anything recorded DURING the con. How many times have you watched a video or heard audio recorded at a con and the sound was almost unusable? Being able to spend time on UX tweaks like that make the conference so much better for attendees and people who couldn't attend.<br>

</div>The one drawback at TAMU was those classrooms were noisy. You could hear what's being said in the hall or in the next classroom. It sometimes made it difficult to hear the speaker in the classroom you were in.<br>
