I think this is a great idea! It's possible to propose a "one day devroom"
if you are concerned about not having enough content for two days.

Basically you need to propose an interesting topic -- and there's
no doubt that a one day (or even two day) Jenkins devroom would be
such an interesting topic that any room will be filled to capacity.

Having organized two devrooms last year the big lesson learned was:
do not try to squeeze the talks into being too short (30m).  The talks
should really be 45m (and maybe even with a 15m break in between).

p.s. Thanks again for the Jenkins sticker you gave me at FOSDEM :)

p.p.s. Next year I know I'll want to be in 3 devrooms at once! :-P
