Hello, Initially I'd sent a schedule proposal to the local team mailing list, but some people have asked that we discuss this here instead. This was the original thread: https://lists.debian.org/debconf15-team/2014/09/msg00026.html Taking into account the feedback, I make this new proposal for the general schedule: 08:00 10:00 breakfast 10:00 13:00 events 13:00 14:30 lunch 14:30 17:00 events 17:00 18:00 coffee and snacks (overlapping) 17:30 20:00 events 20:00 22:00 dinner Regarding the events, during the weekends this would be just talks. But during the weekdays I think it would be nice to have some adhoc talks time and some time for open hacking sessions. - Adhoc talks: As seen during dc14, people come up with lots of things they want to discuss during the conference. It makes sense to have a specific block for this type of sessions. - Open hacking sessions: a time for teams/projects to work together with newcomers and potential team members. For these to be successful, they need to have clear and attainable goals. My proposal is to have adhoc talks during early afternoon (14:30-17:00) and hacking sessions in parallel during the whole afternoon (14:30-20:00). This allows having one block of time that is exclusively for hacking. The main motivation for the hacking sessions is that many people come to DebConf wanting to get more involved but they don't know how to help, who to ask, what to do. Creating a dedicated space for this would allow them to engage with the teams, as well as giving existing teams the opportunity of working together towards a common goal. In order for this to work, we will need to reach out to potential teams and projects, so that they can establish a work plan. Comments?
