You are right but it is difficult to decide which days to join and to book a hotel (much cheaper in advance), if you don't know the program or when your talk is scheduled.
It's was just a suggestion and I don't see a waste for the half days since there are so many people continuing to talk, meet and exchange... 2014-02-03 Giovanni Bajo <giova...@pycon.it>: > > Il giorno 01/feb/2014, alle ore 19:23, Stefanie Lück <lue...@gmail.com> > ha scritto: > > I think it is difficult to fit all needs and wishes (quantity, quality and > costs).
