they intend their talks to be 10′ or 20′. We should change the
wording on the CFP to ask them to only provide alternatives for
shorter formats, not longer.
+- It was hard to squeeze all the org/hyperbole talk on day-1.
+ Generally, the people who submit these kinds of talk come from all
+ over the world, and US mornings are more accommodating than US
+ evenings when it comes to timezones. We might consider having two org
+ **mornings** rather than an org **day**; it would give us more flexibility
+ with those talks.
+- We’re starting to reach critical mass on the org-talks. We might want
+ to consider splitting the org-talks and the dev-talks into two
+ distinct events to allow them to grow independently.
+- We should associate time-of-day with CFP-deadline; otherwise, the
+ scheduler has to be on edge until the very end of the day. It’s worse
+ this year because we made CFP-end coincide with speaker-notif, so this
+ might not be as much of a problem next year.
+- It’s easier for us to extend beyond 5pm than to go before 9am
+ (especially for the West coast). Extending beyond 5pm puts strain on
+ European organizers and volunteers, though.
