Great, thanks for that!

Should we use last year's session tracks? http://2014.capitalcampandgovdays.com/admin/structure/taxonomy/session_tracks_1

• Code and DevOps
• Drupal Business, Case Studies, Non-Profit and Government
• Configuration, Testing and Site Building
• Design / User Experience
• Security
• Training
• Keynote

For ticket types, we can do Gov and non Gov, but I'd rather just do a check box and one ticket type since this is really not necessary since we don't do multiple types

ignore the first link use this one.

[timwood]

First link replaced with correct one.

For tracks, we mimicked Drupalcon. https://events.drupal.org/losangeles2015/sessions/proposed But there are a lot more this year.

[timwood]

@bendygirl Do you think there's any reason to do different ticket types? Do we need to keep sponsor tickets to a certain number?

[bendygirl]

Code and DevOps Drupal Business, Case Studies, Non-Profit and Government (we don't really need this) Project/Product Management (add this one in) Configuration and Site Building Design / User Experience Testing and Security Training Keynote

[bendygirl]

@timwood no, I don't think we actually need different ticket types. Sponsors are only limited in that they need to register everyone. It's the only way we can gage how many lunches to buy or T-shirts to order.

[bendygirl]

Total quantity 1100 total quantity at this time. We expect 800, so that will allow us to have the traditional drop off amount Min per order - at least 1. Max per order, no more than 10, that seems reasonable.

[bendygirl]

I wasn't able to do this last year, but a ticket does not have to be related to an individual user. This didn't work well on last year's site. So, when a scheduler or a assistant goes in and needs to book two tickets (or I need to do it for a keynote), the ticket should be sortable by the ticketed attendee not the ticket requester.

[timwood]

Most rooms added, but the whole scheduling process is insanely long! Here's a short video about how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S7SjMMXOx4

[bendygirl]

@timwood the scheduling is long, but the session selection team should be able to handle this fairly easily as long as we know which rooms and times need to be filled with tracks.

[timwood]

Let's move the last two checkboxes to separate tasks since they are much more involved and come much later, which I didn't understand when I created the list.
