... > We would like to hear your opinion on this idea. I generally prefer to both give and receive enough technical info in a talk to have some idea of how the thing works. That means a 45min talk for many subjects (certainly most of the ones I deal with). Some things (including subsets of longer talks) fit fine into 20 mins. For any useful technical discussion (as opposed to presentations) a longer session is needed (we could definitely do better at having more engineering discussion and less presentation, (and I include myself in that). It's one of the things UDS did better than debconf) So yes, adding 20 min talks is fine, but I value longer, more detailed sessions, too. I have no idea what the right ratio between these things. I guess we suck it and see. Debconf design is an iterative process :-) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
