Re: [guadec-list] List of approved sessions



Another factor to consider is the starting time at 9.00am. In order to
be seated in your track session at that time you probably need to wake
up at 7h30 in the GNOME Village. Something tells me not everybody will
achieve this every day, and speakers of the first row of sessions may
well fear losing a % of interested audience just because of this. 

This is why I suggested a soft start for
http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC2006/WarmUpWeekend and
http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC2006/AfterHoursWorkshops , opening doors &
wifi at 9am and starting the sessions at 10am. 

There is a 2h break from 14h to 16h and also a soft closing time, with
last round of sessions planned to finish at 19h or so (unless someone
wants more). Doors and wifi close at 20h.

I think this is schedule is more friendly not only with local habits,
but also with the social habits GUADEC visitors will get during the
week. But surely we can also find a solution with lunch break at 13h.
