Hi, I was looking at the talk schedule and hours for John Jay (cafeteria), which we were likely going to use during debconf.
B: 0700-0945 L: 1130-1400 D: 1700-1900 Lunch overlaps well, with or without the changes from Monday's global meeting. However, the last talk ends at 19:30, which doesn't mesh with these hours. However, as we know, not everyone is expected to go to every talk, so maybe that is ok. Plus, the main auditorium talks tend to end at 18:00. Here is another thing I noticed: Most days, it is the Interschool Lab talks that go until 19:00, with the Davis talks ending at 18:30. From a columbia standpoint, ending Interschool earlier would be greatly preferable. Interschool is in a part of the building which nominally closes to non-staff at 18:00. We have special permission to be in there later, but someone will have to prop the door open after that. If we say the last talk ends at 18:30, then we don't have trouble letting people get in (we say, last entrance is 18:00), and the lower level (Davis, 414) is open later since that's where we have security for. It would help a lot to reduce Columbia stress. I realize that Interschool is the "track room" and changing things this late will be really annoying. I just thought I'd put this out there and see what people thought. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 352 days, 12:46 | http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
