Well, but it _is_ interrupted - because the kind of talks, the focus
of the talks we will have on that day are completely different. I
would even think about (although I doubt it would be very popular, for
many obvious reasons ;-) ) having DebDay and Daytrip on the same day -
as many people won't be able to hack as easily being watched by the
curious crowd, we will have a large amount of people coming in, the
auditoriums will probably be full (and with things that could be
ah-interesting for many DebConf attendees, but not the main focus)...
Again: I understand the motivation for having it on a Saturday, but it
_does_ break the natural flow of DebConf. Maybe hosting DebianDay at a
nearby auditorium instead, and having parallel activities for that
day, would be possible?
