I'm definitely not proposing organizers to do that. Hence the "in case
someone is interested in organizing that" part :-) For instance, the
gig was organized by Igalia as part of their GNOME party last year.
So, this is something sponsors could do in case they're planning to
organize social events during GUADEC.

Cheers!
