Agree - what should we use for this? The track? We currently have only
three listed talks on the DebianDay track, so it might be quite
doable. Now, I just checked and I don't seem to have access anymore to
the talk rating interface — Has anything changed? We will still need
this access.

In fact, I think it is important to prioritize the Spanish talks. I
would leave English talks only for those proposals which are
interesting and important by themselves, interesting for both DDs and
outsiders. This seems obvious, of course, but I think it should be
stressed. There are not that many proposed DD-oriented talks which we
have marked as wide enough to be part of DebianDay (or OpenDebConfDay,
or whatever name we are going to use his time around). We can, of
course, fill the schedule as much as we want — But I think it will be
more valuable to focus on the Spanish track.

Yes — We should go over the talk list again with this in
mind. Andreas, Tassia, should we have a meeting for this? I think it
is the best way...
And, again... We must consider some of the talks will be loaded by us,
not by the submitters.
