I would also like to say that I am worried about the amount of talks we would need to reject, plus the lack of slots for organic meetings/talks that are an integral part of DebConf. After a few years of not having enough talks to select from (and then having a conference packed with talks and events, because people start having great ideas on the spot), this year we face the situation where we have a smaller amount of talk slots and more talk submissions than usual. I think we need to somehow expand the number of slots for scheduled talks, while leaving time and space for ad-hoc talks.. > a) Reassign some "ad-hoc" space to "official" talks.

(5 days max) I don't know what is the best solution, specially taking into account that the DC14 team wants a different flavour of DebConf for this year. But all these sound sensible to me. I would also propose either adding a room (is that even possible at this time?), and/or pushing dinner 1:30 h later, to accomodate for one more talks slot per day. But again, I don't know if this is possible. OTOH, I am not too sure of the idea of putting talks after dinner, I think people may want to unwind after that. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
