We've had this discussion, and I proposed an alternative format with 40 pages: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/guadec-list/2006-May/msg00016.html However, I'm not doing anything with the programme, and I trust that we'll have something reasonable on time - it's happened miraculously in the past (usually with a designer being paid to cobble something together in the last fortnight, complete with all-nighter sessions at the printers, grabbing wet ink copies to rush to catch the plane) (I'm exaggerating slightly). So - I've had my say, and the format chosen at this stage really is un to the doers. My gut feeling is that we have too much on our plates, and that we need to slim down on everything and start bazaaring as much as possible - this is already happening (witness the embedded forum, the football match and the jam session) but it needs to happen more. The final phase of organising the conference is getting the word out - web banners, magazine ads & articles, phone calls & emails to journalists; the other phase (the most fun) is paying for everything. But I would hate to see us blow a chunk of the money we've raised for the conference on professional help because we over-reached.
