I've added some improvements: * provide the speaker with water * not only tell the speaker, she has 10/5/0 minutes left, but also enforce this * tell the speaker in advance, that they actually only have $timeslot minus 5 minutes available, so that people can breathe and change rooms after an event. I hope everybody is ok with the last change :) Sadly the timeslots in penta leave no time between actuall talks, or rather we forgot to make them like that. 15min breaks between talks probably would have been even better, but I think it's too late to make this change. Also I know it took the ccconference more then 20 years of experience to realize such "long" breaks between talks are good. OTOH DebConf is considerably smaller, thus moving between rooms will not take so much time, so hopefully 5min work well. Also please note that those 5min of breaks are not only needed for the videoteam (which definitly needs those little breaks badly) but also for everybody, it's simply impossible to move from Davis to Interschool lab in 0 seconds and even 5min sometimes will be a challange. cheers, Holger
