+
+## Legend
+
+-   Green: no availability constraints
+-   Red: invalid because of availability constraint
+-   Dashed: IRC/pad Q&A, not live
+
+
+<a id="gen-and-dev"></a>
+
+## 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
+-   Need host/streamer(s) for dev track

+
+## Option B: Two afternoon tracks (dev starts at 13:30), 10/20 buffer, 60 min lunch
+
+-   Some room to breathe, some dev talks still on the main track
+
+-   LUNCH: Ends at 13:45 after 13:30
+-   ![img](schedule-option-two-afternoon-tracks.svg)
+
+
+<a id="one-afternoon"></a>
+
+## Option C: One afternoon track, 5/10 minute buffers, 60 minute lunch
+
+-   Lightens up the schedule a little bit, allows us to test out tracks without committing too much
+-   Needs a host/streamer for the other track
+
+-   ![img](schedule-option-one-afternoon-track.svg)
+
+
+<a id="no-irc"></a>
+
+## Option D: Remove buffer from non-live talks
+
+-   Considerations:
+    -   Frees up about 20 minutes on each day, so we might be able to squeeze in two more talks sideways.
+    -   Pretty frenetic
+
+-   ![img](schedule-option-only-live-qa.svg)
+
+
+<a id="non-round"></a>
+
+## Option E: Reduce buffer to non-round numbers (3/7 minutes, like 2021); 10min break 30min lunch
+
+-   Schedule looks too precise, sets expectations; timekeeping is more challenging
+-   Pretty frenetic
+-   Could probably use shifts for hosts or streamers
+
+-   ![img](schedule-option-non-round-buffer.svg)
+
+
+<a id="long"></a>
+
+## Option F: Pack everything in one long day
+
+-   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
