I think that this might work, but there needs to be more of a planning, including topics, and distribution of times. At present, there are three parallel tracks planned, and this looks to me like adding a fourth track. I am not sure if there is room/time for this. Whom will these sub-conferences cater to? If it is just a focussed group, how is it different than a BoF? > Though i would have loved to discuss this idea on IRC > but since i have the honor of being part of ignore > list of some of the eminent people, i think mailing > list is better. Look, this is not pointing fingers specifically at you, but if people here continue to walk around with a chip on their shoulders, we might as well drop the whole shebang right now, as it is never going to work. So, please, can we let bygones be bygones, and look to make a fresh start. Otherwise, all this talk of community, and collaboration remains just talk. > Any one game for it ?

Are you proposing one sub-conference, or multiple ones?
