+1 I remember we did talk about that last year at some point but.... we were a little overloarded ( or am I confused with the year before Giovanni? ). I think that this year we can set this in a proper way. We should make a call for volunteers and check how many first time speakers we can cover ( trying to avoid having the organizers working on this and preparing the venue ). 2012/2/16 Harald Armin Massa[legacy] <haraldarminma...@gmail.com> > Giovanni, > >> 1) we ask first-time speakers to reharse their talks on Sunday afternoon >> (the day before EP begins). >> 2) we invite veteran speakers to help reviewing reharsals.
