I know we've barely finished with this year's 'challenge... but I guess the sooner we start preparing for next year the better! It's probably a good to keep the momentum up and get a few details sorted out now.
All in all, I'd say that this year was a resounding success. Congrats and many thanks to Dale for running the thing. You did a great job!
I think the format this year worked really well. I also thing that having one person "hosting" the 'challenge was a good move. I'd like to see that continue -- have somebody volunteer to be in charge for a year and let them make the final decisions on format, keep the website updated etc. As Dale said in the interview on Retromaccast -- design by committee never works!
Since it's been such a success this year, I think next year can only be better. It sounds like we've already got the two guys from Retromaccast pledged in for it!
So I'd say, keep it much the same as this year. No rules, just one month of vintage computing!
Maybe you could share some of the details of what advertising you did, how you ran the competition, etc, here Dale. It might help next person get started -- unless of course you want to host it again [] ]'>
