Doors to the Oasis Rooms Were Closed or Partially Closed During the 3/5 Team Social

I was tricked into thinking that the "meet the teams" social was cancelled tonight because:

1. At least 1 of the big doors by the registration desks was closed.
2. The other Oasis doors were closed as usual.
3. The digital signage said that the current event was the showcase. The sign also said that the showcase ended at 6:30 PM.

Not all presentations had description and feedback

For some reason some sessions didn't have feedback or a description (iOS version).

Eg of no feedback option - Integrating ArcGIS with 3rd Party Services with Koop at Developer Summit 2018.

Eg of no description - Esri ArcGIS Online and Serverless Computing: So Long Bare-Metal

Quartz and Open Source / github collaboration

Given that Quartz is C/C++, can ESRI open source the Android / Java wrapper so that folk can raise issues and submit pull requests?
It would be great to use the geometry-api-java geometry classes with the SDK.

Demo Theater Acoustics

The Demo Theater presentations are often made in an environment with a high level of ambient noise. That, in conjunction with the presenters being seated and therefore not projecting as well as standing, results in the audience in the rear having to strain to hear the presenter. The sound system is set up with two loudspeakers in the front. I suggest having another pair of loudspeakers halfway back to help the audience at the rear of the space hear the presenter.

Are there plans to support cluster markers in the ArcGIS JavaScript 4.0?

How does the ESRI Development Team keeps up with emerging software development trends and at the same time to master them all to a high level of proficiency year after year?

Hello Jim,

As according to our conversation at the end of the “Speedgeeking” session, I am reaching out to you with my question for the ESRI Development Team.

How does the ESRI Development Team keeps up with emerging software development trends and at the same time to master them all to a high level of proficiency year after year?

The GIS community can benefit from this feedback in order to mimic ESRI’s best practices.

Thank you,

update presentation descriptions closer to conference

Speaking to a presenter it seems that descriptions for sessions are set way in advance. Things move so quickly that an opportunity to update them close to the conference would be good. There were sessions I nearly didn't attend because key terms were missed off the descriptions (sounded a lot like last years presentation but in reality there was a whole new section)

Why is it so difficult for the ESRI JavaScript API's to implement kinetic panning?

Why is it so difficult for the ESRI JavaScript API's to implement kinetic panning? Silverlight and Flex did. And, of course all other mainstream mapping libraries do as well (mentioning no names of course)!

Will the videos from sessions be made available for free this year?

Give us a level

Words can be so confusing. Sometimes - when reading the abstract of an workshop - you think you listen to a professional talk, but you realize after a few moments, that the talk is just for beginners.

It would be so much better, if you have a level (beginners, advanced, professional) that characterizes the workshop a little bit. Sometimes I would like to hear more hardcore sessions and sometimes I just want to have a look into a new topic. It is that normal that I am a professional in one way and a beginner in another.

And that would not also save time for the listener, it would also helps the lecturer:
he has the chance to do a more professional session, he could presume that basics must not be explained, and he has the time to show more tipps and tricks.

So, please: Give us a level! :)

3D GeoJSON

I did not think to ask the question in advance, but there is a question I would have liked to have asked. There was a lot of talk during the week about GeoJSON and a lot of talk about 3D. The GeoJSON standard does not provide for 3D. Perhaps there is enough interest out there to convene an IETF working group (or reconvene the original one) to extend the GeoJSON standard to include 3D, unless, of course, there is a reason why 3D GeoJSON would be a really bad idea.

Slides, resources & demos

I guess most of the slides would be on the proceedings page, but... could we create a markdown document in this repo with a list of interesting resources & demos?:

How about a female keynote presenter

I have been blessed to attend 8 dev summits. In none of those dev summits have i seen a female keynote speaker or a female on the stage at the closing lunch. There are clearly many women leaders in our field; it seems that Esri should recognize that and draw from that talent pool when selecting presenters.

Better session selection/scheduling site/app

The current site/app is pretty hard to use with parallel sessions and ones with different durations.

Feel free to leave your feedback as issues. Thank you!

Reusable beverage containers?

According to the stats from the final session, attendees consumed a lot of coffee and other beverages during the conference, and since single-use cups were provided, I imagine a lot of waste was generated, although I think all the cups were made of paper or plants, so it's great that the materials were recyclable or degradable; however, did the conference planning team consider providing attendees with a reusable beverage container?

Of course, if a reusable cup/mug can't be made from recyclable or degradable materials, it might make more sense to keep using single-use cups from a sustainability perspective, although I can imagine there are other factors in play as well.

I would appreciate your consideration on this issue.

Mobile Map Packages with Quartz

We have learned some great things about quartz and Mobile Map Packages. Is there a single place for documentation on Mobile Map Packages in Quartz?

Specifically, we learned today from Euan Cameron that the Quartz Map Packages will be SQLite. I asked, however, about updates for Map Packages - specifically around vector tiles.
Euan assured me that Vector Tiles will be not be downloaded multiple times by multiple maps (covering the same area), that vector tiles won't be stored in the SQLite and that the (http) etags will be checked for individual tiles to ensure that users have the latest basemap mapping. It therefore seems that the workflow will be different for basemaps.

Where should we host DevSummit Europe next year?

Open Source JS API

Is there any future plan to release the javascript api source code to the public or to enterprise customers, at the least 3.x?
