Different countries have different ideas of civilized hours for running conference sessions. Taking a look at PyCon ZA, what do you all think of the following schedule for the main DebConf session days:
9:30-10:15am First Talk/BoF 10:15-11:00am Morning Tea/Coffee Break 11:00-11:45am Third Talk/BoF 12:00pm-1:00pm Lunch Break 1:00pm-1:45pm Fourth Talk/BoF 2:00pm-2:45pm Fifth Talk/BoF 2:45pm-3:30pm Afternoon Tea/Coffee Break 3:30pm-4:15pm Sixth Talk/BoF 4:30-5:15pm Seventh Talk/BoF We're planning 3 streaming video rooms for Talks/BofS (we'll also have some smaller rooms with no video for additional BoFs). So, over 4 days that gives us 7 x 3 x 4 = 84 full-length session slots (where some will be split into 20 min blocks and others combined into 2 hour workshops). We currently have 51 proposals: 11 Talks (20 min) 17 Talks (45 min) 3 Workshops 20 BoFs I'm sure we'll get more BoF proposals closer to the event, and some of them may even be more "talk-like". But, we'll have plenty of time to accommodate all the content, with no need to create a frantically paced schedule of sessions starting at the crack of dawn and crammed into every minute. I'll also note that the social side of DebConf often runs until 4am or beyond, so keeping the morning light and putting more content in the afternoon works well. Thoughts, comments, and suggestions welcome, Allison _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
