students ran this part of the session. If we cannot get the 3-4 hour
block then a shorter session with some structure but focused on
students doing things might work. Note special sessions are 75
minutes. Not as long as you like but might work. Workshops are 3
hours. These are the longer standard sessions that I recall.
Who has great idea?
My take:
If we can get a 3+ hour block (workshop): Barcamp format. I'm happy to
facilitate but will need a hand on the logistics.
If we can't do that, but can get a 75-minute block (special session):

If we can get a shorter session:

Theme for all 3 sessions might be something like "how students want to
be prepared for the real world" -- something that gives students
expertise by virtue of *being* students (and forces us to shut up and
listen to them for a while!) and is a strong point of open source
participation, but is not exclusively focused on open source.
Fire at will. Modifications, better ideas, criticisms? What needs to
happen next to get this on a schedule, in whatever format?
