I expect it will be handled like the wifi has been — iterative improvement until no one thinks to compliment the venue, because it’s that invisible.

I didn't attend CodeMash 2015 but at the risk of saying something obvious and dumb; the room reservation process was a debacle. I don't know if that's within the power of the organizers to fix but if there were one thing to address, that'd be it.--Onorio--

It's too bad there's not a way to reserve a room for CodeMash online, though I'm sure that would have it's own issues as well.

That was sort of what I meant when I said "debacle". I wouldn't have minded not getting a room at the Kalahari (I've never stayed at the Kalahari yet); it was tying up the phone for a solid hour trying to get through that I found annoying and aggravating. If I had even gotten a busy signal when I dialed, I would probably have given up sooner. The problem was that I intermittently would seem to get through only to have my call dropped in 15 or 20 seconds.I'm not faulting any of the CodeMash organizers; all that can be done is what you're doing--discuss the issue and try to figure out a way to fix it. I just wanted to make sure to mention it before I forgot to do so.--Onorio

It sounds good, but I think the biggest problem with that idea is that even the overflow hotels sold out this year.
And it would require the Codemash committee to pre-book all of the rooms at all of the overflow hotels, which the overflow hotels aren't likely to do unless the committee is willing to pay for them up front.
