			* Loved the new tents, was able to see every slide on every talk and hear the speakers very clearly. Airflow was limited in some of the tents. Probably the darker coloured tents were the ones needing more airflow. Do tents exist with ventilation flaps for natural convection at high temperatures? [[User:StuartL]]

	** Seconded regarding the urinal construction, and the lighting at the northern toilets was not great - I had to raise this with staff on Friday as there was none at all Thursday night.		** Seconded regarding the urinal construction, and the lighting at the northern toilets was not great - I had to raise this with staff on Friday as there was none at all Thursday night.
	* I didn't go to EMF2014 so have no reference point - but I've used far better loos at events in the past. The toilets could be smelled from the food area by Sunday which wasn't pleasant. Can I suggest event loos similar to the shower trailers? They are significantly more civilised!

			** [[User:StuartL]] I think the smell was mostly the overflowing urinals (see above) rather than the composting toilets.
	* I did not mind the 'compost loo' aspect as much as some others I've heard from, and I did not think they were smelly, in fact I was surprised they weren't smellier. But I would have felt better with a little more visual privacy: the doors did not close well and were a little too low at the top and too high at the bottom. A privacy screen would have been neat (and could have a double function as a bulletin board / place for posters). Also the material is too rough to clean well. The thing with the dirt/soil worked well but needed clearer instructions (it took me a while to find them). Also better/sturdier scoops.

	* More handwash and sturdier scoops - the wash/scoops were depleted/broken at the loos near the gate by Sunday afternoon :( Maybe put the loos near a water point?		* More handwash and sturdier scoops - the wash/scoops were depleted/broken at the loos near the gate by Sunday afternoon :( Maybe put the loos near a water point?

Adding a feedback mechanism to the schedule site might be a way to do this ?		* I realise (long afterwards) that I'd really like to have had feedback from participants in the workshops I was involved with.

	* I don't recall seeing an accessible shower at EMF - if that happens again in the future, would it be possible to provide a plastic chair in 1-2 shower cubicles so that a standard cubicle becomes more accessible to those of us who are just unstable on our legs?		* I don't recall seeing an accessible shower at EMF - if that happens again in the future, would it be possible to provide a plastic chair in 1-2 shower cubicles so that a standard cubicle becomes more accessible to those of us who are just unstable on our legs?
	*Can we not use the word 'accessible' to refer to 'wheelchair accessible' facilities ? The latter makes sense. The former doesn't. All the facilities should be accessible. I don't care if it's the current politically-correct term (though I suspect it's just shorthand for wheelchair accessible) : it's nonsense.--[[User:Artag\|Artag]] ([[User talk:Artag\|talk]]) 23:09, 11 August 2016 (BST)		*Can we not use the word 'accessible' to refer to 'wheelchair accessible' facilities ?

			** "Accessible" is a standard term, because not everybody who is disabled and needs assistive facilities (such as handrails or lack of steps) is in a wheelchair. This should be obvious.
