My thought was mainly to have them in a schedule somewhere. It didn't
occur to me that penta wouldn't allow the same event to have multiple
instances. I'll put in several training sessions to be scheduled during
DebCamp.

Probably not.

Probably not. It was just an idea in case there weren't enough talks to
fill in DebianDay, which doesn't seem to be an issue.

Not at all, thanks for asking and I'm sorry for submitting a confusing
event. :-/
