Another option is for
25 minute talks and 60 minute talks:
60 + 10 = 70
2 x (25 + 10) = 70

align the slots properly.

I agree with what
Tom and Ian suggested.
The problem seems
to align the slots properly.
I see two
possibilities:
1) the special
talks are twice as long as the usual ones. That
could mean 60 min instead of 50min and a 20 min
break between the special talks.
2) every talk has
the same length (e.g. 40 mins) and it's the room
which makes the talk special. We could in
addition emphasize these talks visually in the
schedule somehow.
I like the second
option :-)

I
like the 10 mins break minimum between talks. I
also like the standard to be 30 minute talks. I
agree with Ian about the 'invited' long-talk
speakers, we should not run them in parallel. We
will have picked these speakers because we feel
they will draw a crowd and have something
valuable to say that justifies a longer time. As
a conference attendee I would not appreciate
being forced to only pick just one of these
"special" talks to attend.

with the logistics on how we can do the

I hear you and agree about the 10minute break. I
would also suggest we have 15 minutes for after
the keynote, since those tend to take longer to
switch over.
I like the idea of the 'invited' long-talk
speaker. However, we might consider not running
them in parallel just in one slot during the
day. What if we took the largest room and that
room always had a long talk. This way they would
not be running in parallel. If you do them in
parallel, we will have the challenge of who gets
the largest room? It might mean the invited
speaking slot will be allocated 80 minutes but
we could ask them to finish early.

Hey
gang, after our discussion here and in person
with Chris and John at last weekend’s FOSSLC
event here in Ottawa, I feel we have momentum
towards closing on the schedule. Here are the
main points.
Yes, you can get between rooms in 5 minutes. But
do you want to? The feeling I’m getting is no.
There is so much valuable community building
that happens between the talks, we don’t want to
rush people off to their next talk. 10 minutes
seems to be the right number.
We talked about short talks and I think the
consensus is that 25 minutes is the minimum
length. With the 10 minute gap and to desire to
keep the schedule simple, I’d like to propose we
go with 30 minute short talks. That should be
plenty of time and I think we can really diffuse
complaints about length with that as our
standard.
Long talks would be 50 minutes. There would be
one slot per day where we would have long talks,
after lunch some time. These are the
keynote-style talks we were talking about
previously. They would be important talks that
we as a program committee feel need the longer
time. As such, submitters are not allowed to ask
for long talks, they ask for short and we select
which ones of those would be made long.
Tutorials are 3 hours. 2 hours is too short for
a proper tutorial. That reduces their numbers
but that’s probably a good thing and we can
focus on tutorials that would truly be valuable
to the attendees. Tutorials are on Monday from
9-12 and 1:30-4:30. We could slip a short talk
before the afternoon one if we feel we need the
room and it’s not too weird.
Here’s what the schedule could look like for the
other days. Remember the 10 minute gap between
events.
9:00 – Keynote (60 minutes)
10:10 – Short
10:50 – Short
11:30 – Short
12:00 – Lunch
1:30 – Short
2:10 – Short
2:50 – Long (50 minutes)
3:40 – 20 minute break (maybe 30, maybe regular
10?)
4:00 – Short
4:40 – Short
5:10 – Evening event
We could wrap things up with the closing plenary
at 4 on Thurs. I’m not sure which slot makes the
most sense for the afternoon Long talk.
Thoughts?
