We don't have a strict procedure for panel discussions, nor for sprints. As you 
know last year we didn't have much going on at the conference beyond talks & 
trainings, and that was a precise focus choice; now that we know that the basic 
structure stands, we are happy to augment it.

First question: is there a specific difference between a "BoF session" or a 
"Panel discussion"? In my experience they are mostly the same (though BoF 
probably facilitate more interaction), but I would like to clarify this. Do we 
need to differentiate them? I don't think so.

My idea was to add a page like the one we have for sprints 
(https://ep2012.europython.eu/p3/sprints/) where people can submit ideas for 
panel discussions, others can express interests by subscribing to them. Later, 
we can show them on the schedule.

I know it's confusing but we did not get around fixing it. One is net duration 
of talk (excl Q&A), the other is the slot length (incl Q&A). Lorenzo, our talk 
manager, will be contacting all speakers soon, we will have all these details 
sorted out and double-checked before the talk voting begins on Monday.
