Yes, that's basically what I had in mind.  I don't think any
planning is needed before GUADEC itself.  During the week we can
start announcing the major events for the After Hours (adhoc
tracks, etc), and finally, manage the event, as in keeping an
announcements board, allocating rooms and tables to groups,
projectors, ordering pizza if people ask for, etc...
