Some people's Negative Feedback or Suggestions noted are:
1. It would be better if 3 parallel track was there than 4 parallel track
This feedback is from the journalist/correspondant, and we are happy to say one more stuff, a great support for press/Print/Media to covering BarCampMumbai2 in the Natural Style. ? You would not able to identify Press/Media person separate from Campers,except you are knowing there are from press !
They were just treating themselves like Campers,Learning and Sharing Thoughts. ! Amazing.
2.Should have online Pre-Fix Scheduled slots
3.Wiki Should be online accesible, Also distance between two Session should be closer.Rooms/Halls are far away.
4. Session is more towards Startup and Managment side, and less on Technology side.
5. Should have enough no. of T-Shirts :(
6. Good Quality Wi-Fi Access, everywhere AC availability should be there !

Wait list - How does it work?
We have just announced our wait list. Its something we don't like to do but have to when we cross our infrastructure constraints. A few comments on what the wait list means:
1. The registrations start at 9.30 AM and the event would kick off around 10 AM
2. The folks in wait list are considered around 10 AM and admitted/declined depending on the turnout from the mail list. Its a simple implementation of first come first served algo
3. The Infra constraints exist at several levels. What this means is that we may have a situation where we can take you in, provide you with a seat etc but may have run out of freebies such as T shirts, sponsor give aways etc. What the admission does get you is participation and food.
Do ping us with your questions and we would be happy to answer them.

Check your name in the registrants!
Do check your name in the wiki if you've registered today. We've had instances where part of the list has been deleted either inadvertenly or maliciously. While we have been making restorations from back ups fairly quickly, we may miss you in the small window where you may have registered in the partial list. So pls do check.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.

BCM 2 count crosses 200!
We just crossed another milestone: 200 registration! We look all set for one rocking unconference!
Our infra constraint is at 200. But we expect cancellations and change in plans etc. So wiki stays open for further registrations.
Do you have a cool product or service that you want to showcase? Register yourself and put up your topic right away. Want to see how others are doing it, register and make note of the discussions where you'd like to participate. We still have room but we'll soon run out of it at the current rate!

Mumbai - The new start up hub?
Mint has an interesting story today: Mumbai, the new VC Hub.. It talks about how Mumbai scores ahead of a more obvious Bangalore in terms of VCs calling it home or even deal concentration.
We see the same play with BCM2 registrations. Yesterday we were at 150 and we are already at 175! Remember that BCB2 had a turnout of 200 so we are still shy of that but I still wonder if we can beat it. :-)
We are also nearing Infra constraints. So if you haven't registered, do so at the earliest. We'll try to accomodate as many as possible but will have resort to allowing only those who registered once we cross Infra capacity.
Also do register what you would like to discuss. Its your unconference. Make it what you would like it to be. One great way of meeting people of common interest is to list a topic of the same theme.

Registrations cross 150
Registrations have crossed 150 on the wiki. Looks like Mumbai is giving a good chase to Bangalore. Barcamp bangalore 2 had a turnout of 200. I wonder if we'll cross it :-)
If you haven't registered so far, do so quickly. Once the registrations cross the Infra limits, we'll be forced to entertain those who have registered ahead of unregistered participants.
