We've been referring to these as the "spotlight" panels, since they're 
"spotlight on $GUEST".  We almost certainly want to spread them out; probably 
two friday, three on saturday (two day, one evening), and probably one on 
sunday.

Saturday evening is _the_ most congested time in the schedule.

By the way, Eric Raymond had a suggestion: instead of a banquet, we should do 
a chili cookoff with celebrity judges.

Eric's talks appeal to marketers and businespeople as well as techies, and 
they might like the tan box thing, so it's not a clear lack of conflict.  But 
we're going to wind up with a lot of conflicts no matter what we do; we have 
multiple simultanous panel tracks and we want them ALL to have great 
programming...
