-## Option A: General and development tracks - 15/25 buffers, 60 min lunch, dev starts at 10
-
-- Lots of space for Q&A and hallway conversations
-- People can probably find lots of sessions that interest them throughout the day
-- If they decide a talk isn't for them, they can switch and catch another one
-- Stagger live Q&A sessions so that just in case we have only one streamer, they can bounce back and forth
-- Can give some talks extra time if we want
-- Could use dedicated host/streamer(s) for dev track; if not, they can probably pick up questions themselves

-- Line up the starts and the Q&A; easier to display in a table, but
- then we will really need to have multiple hosts/streamers, and

+- Added option H. General starts with general Org use cases and moves on to more niche things on day 2.

+ option A over option G because it gives people more choices -
+ they can hop from talk to talk.
-- Considerations:
- - Frees up about 20 minutes on each day, so we might be able to squeeze in two more talks sideways.
- - Pretty frenetic
- - Not recommended

-- Schedule looks too precise, sets expectations; timekeeping is more challenging
-- Pretty frenetic
-- Could probably use shifts for hosts or streamers
-- Not recommended
+- compared to A, general audience will be more interested in Org use cases than in Hyperbole, and then we can look at specific techniques on day 2

-- Considerations:
- - Difficult to accommodate extra talks
- - Host/streamer have a very long intense day
-- Ideas:
- - Split up hosting duties into shifts (volunteers can read the questions)
- - Use prerecorded intros and outros
- - Split up streaming duties into shifts (volunteers can adjust audio volume, switch to the right BBB room)
- - Set up cloud streaming so that streamers can work in shifts
