Usually the un-conferences work like this: the slots are hard-coded,
but the content remains unknown until the previous evening. So the
idea is that before the start of the conference all the possible
'slots' of times and rooms would already be known and in the evening
before each day people would sign their events into the empty slots,
but the slots as such would not change. Such arrangements makes sure
that video team can plan ahead, but it is possible that some slots
might be empty on some days if no one schedules a talk into that slot.
Maybe we could adopt that approach to scheduling the BoFs and such?
