I don't think we should be too worried about filling the time with talks, I
think we can fill the schedule with more than just regular talks.

Some ideas:

  * In-real-life office hours: Hands on developing a Jenkins plugin with KK
  * Paper cuts hackathon: Spend an hour collectively hacking on fixing a
    pre-determined list of minor bugs that can make big improvements
  * Group discussions: possible topics include:
        - Further UI improvements
        - Killing old backwards compatibility/refactoring core
        - Improving plugin discoverability/quality, etc

I can think of plenty more ideas, but you get the gist. The nice thing IMO
about a dev room is that you don't have to run it like a mini conference the
whole time, we have some flexibility AFAIK to "make it our own."


We should also be able to reach out to all the prospective JUC Antwerp
attendees and encourage them to join.

My main concerns would actually be staffing a table and the dev room with
people :)
