I think there was a previous (meeting?) discussion in which we decided
to confirm the starting date as Monday.

I think it makes sense to give zack a talk on that day if he's leaving
(?!) afterwards, but I don't think it's fair to make it a full normal
conference day when we have advertised Monday as the first day. Even if
it's only 30 people, that's quite a lot of people who will be
justifiably upset if they arrive *when we asked them to*, trying to help
us, and they miss the first day of the conference.
I would suggest instead to fill the Sunday schedule with late talk/BOF
proposals, and present these under whatever euphemistic term we had
settled on to replace "unofficial".
