Saturday and Sunday (and even Friday afternoon-evening) are good days for local people wit a general interest in GNOME and also people from Spain and the cheap-flight-connected Europe. During the week the attendants expected are probably mainly insiders (developers and the like) and professionals (people paid by the company to be there). I'm sure we can find activities for all of them. For instance, I'd like to mobilize the local LUGs to organize GNOME-based install parties, introductory workshops, etc. The GNOME Hispano people are interested converging with the GUADEC. The weekend is perfect for this, non-European people arriving later and/or jetlagged are not essential for these activities. BOFs and similar activities of projects mainly European can take also advantage of this weekend. We can even find a smaller venue(s) in social spaces or universities for local warming up in Friday and even Thursday. Then from Monday you have way to go with the (hard)core activities, leaving always one track for professional/business/institutional people popping up from the IGC.
