memory of the future

Now that Small Web September is all wrapped up for another year, I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to share some thoughts on the event - how you found it, and whether you have anything you'd like to change or add.

If you don't have any particular feedback, no problem! But I'm always keen to hear suggestions if there are any. Last year was the first time I'd run the event, and based on everyone's feedback I kept the format pretty consistent, just changing up the check-in themes slightly. (If it ain't broke...) However, I'd be curious to know how first-time participants found the event, and also whether any repeat participants would like to see something new.

Freeform thoughts are extremely welcome, but here are some points to respond to if you're stuck:

• Have you taken part in this event before, or was it your first time participating?
• What did you think of the event format? (Regular 'check-in' posts with engagement/replies in the comments)
• What did you think of the check-in frequency? (Weekly posts/check-ins for a total of five during the event, including the kick-off post). Too many/too few/about right?
• What did you think of the check-in themes (links, communities, troubleshooting, etc.)? Were they too specific, or too general? Do you prefer to have a theme, or would you rather stick to general progress updates for the check-ins?
• Do you have any thoughts on the bonus discussion prompts? Are there any other topics that you think would make for an interesting discussion?
• Is there anything else you'd like the event to feature in future?

Thank you very much in advance for sharing any feedback that you have!
