How about the following:Leave lunch alone. I agree with everyone
that it is working well and attendees need the downtime.
- Monday BOFs - 5:30-6:30pm
- NOTE we will have a happpy hour from 4:30-5:30 in the
exhibit hall. We usually have the awards ceremony but we are
not going to do that this year.]
- Monday Dinner BOFs - 7-10
- As described but I would suggest we need a better name.
- If we do these dinners I suggest we do them early in the
week so gives people an opportunity to network.
- Tuesday
- No BOFs. We will have an exhibitor reception from 6-7 or
7:30
- Eclipse Late Night 9-1pm we invite people to come back to
the hotel bar.
- -Wednesday BOFs 6-7pm
Overall we have only 1 time slot for BOFs on Monday and Tuesday. It
would mean fewer slots but hopefully better quality.
Thoughts?

Bull:
I agree with everyone on the lunch situation.
I also don't like the idea of BoFs during lunch or too late in the
evening (i.e. after having dinner somewhere else).
The dinner BoF is interesting. However, if we do this
then we must ensure that these events feel inclusive. Even
after attending 7 EclipseCons, I still find 'tagging along
for dinner' a little socially awkward. Maybe a dinner BoF
will help with this? Anne, while obviously the attendees are
expected to self-organize the BoFs, would it be possible to
suggest some reasonably priced restaurants for them to host
the BoF at? Another consideration is the size. 30 people
showing up at a restaurant is probably not ideal.
I do like the idea of "organizing" the outside dinner with some
topics to talk about. That might even make it easier to have a
nice dinner experience for those that come alone (not sure if
that's really a problem).
Pascal's idea of having the hotel restaurant deliver food sounds
also nice, but I'm not sure if they can manage for so many people.
Cheers

As for the late night BoFs, I agree with everyone else,
once people leave, it's very hard to get them back and a
9:30 BoF is much too late.
Cheers,
Ian
