How about we gather at 8:00 register etc tags shirt etc , start at 9:00 , close at 18:00. First c-break at 09:45 , lunch at 12:00, c-break again at 13:45, 15:45, 17:45 to closing. > > - Main room sessions (video recorded) will be cherry-picked and > scheduled in advance or not?

(we cannot help it if another track has a hacking session that happens during another track's sessions.) Those not interested in the hack session can attend a sessions of a different track at that time. Also, some parts of Qt require/get a large number of participants in-session, and require allocation of large enough rooms. I'd love to see those scheduled in advance to not repeat last year's situation, where those sessions were filled and people (myself included) gave up attending since there was no space left to squeeze yourself in the room ;) > - How are session slots distributed over rooms and during the day? > Everything in a regular grid or do we have longer & shorter sessions? > Judging by the experience of last year, I think it is not realistic to have less than 45 minutes sessions simply because it is very hard to achieve something (even a decisions) in less time than that. I also personally think it'd be a good idea to try to confine to the one duration to enable as many subjects to get discussed and not "hog" room space. So we just have 45 mins sessions. If a group needs more than that they can take it , but if the room is scheduled for something else, they need to continue on their own somewhere else (I imaging there'd be enough room for that other than the sessions rooms, like the benches we had in the venue last year). How does that sound for a start? -Sivan _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
