I have also been on the papers committee for the last couple of years.
Given the general quality and freshness of talk proposals received, I
can see little problem with dropping to only 2 core days. Reducing the
length of time allocated to each talk would be my preference, if it is
desirable to keep the same number of talks on the schedule.
I think this is really the sign of the times and a form of stagnation as occurred. We can probably get a lot more interesting papers if we started reaching out to other projects that are using our software and platform. Giving other perspectives will drive more conversation and ideas for collaboration.
Since I am also working on a conference, I'm happy to share notes on what I'm doing in contrast with GUADEC.
