There is no need to fight. As I said it is an offspring from the Blends
effort but when mentoring the project I stressed the idea that we should
make it as general as possible (so you could use the stuff even outside
of Debian if you want and whereever people are using a VCS and a mailing
list for communication).

I noticed this. I just wanted to contradict your statement that we have
only one event in the Blends topic. My suggestion would be to fill up
the day according to the rating of the events and move the remaining
BOFs to a *later* day. While there is a chance that
What about a Debian Physics Blend? (715)
Bringing together Debian GIS and OSM (742)
might be merged not regarding the topic but the idea of strengthening a
specific field which is quite good covered in Debian with packages *and*
developers, it can perfectly be that every single event will turn in a
long and productive discussion (as I experienced in the past). In
addition I'm not sure how to attract both target groups under one common
topic. But in principle I would like to see these both events as
belonging to a similar sub-topic which might make sense to move to the
next day after the Blends track (just a suggestion).

Yes.
BTW, I'm quite happy you pushed the scheduling task that far. Please
keep us informed who we can take over parts of the work effectively.
Kind regards
