Review the issues faced last year with the Gavel system.
Identify areas that need improvement based on the problems encountered.

Separate Gavel System for Software and Hardware:

Develop a strategy to efficiently separate the Gavel system for software and hardware projects.
Ensure that judges are appropriately assigned to their respective categories.

Section for AWS Projects:

Create a dedicated section for AWS projects to meet AWS evaluation requirements.

Subdivide Individual Software Category:

Assess whether this subdivision is beneficial or if it can be streamlined.

Test Run of the System:

Conduct a test run of the Gavel system to evaluate its effectiveness.
Assess the impact of any changes made to the system based on the previous year's experience.

Use the Gavel system to shortlist projects but let the team decide the winners.

Documentation and Communication:

Document all decisions and changes made to the Gavel system.
Communicate any updates or changes to judges, participants, and the organizing team.

Continuous Improvement:

Encourage ongoing feedback from judges, participants, and organizers to improve the system further.
Be open to making adjustments based on feedback.

Contingency Planning:

Provide training to judges, especially those evaluating AWS projects, to ensure they understand the criteria and process.

Timelines and Deadlines:

Establish clear timelines and deadlines for all phases of the event, from project submission to judging completion.

Feedback Gathering:

After the event, gather feedback from all stakeholders to identify areas for further improvement.

This list is based on the feedback from Eugene.
