To my thinking, ad-hoc is not an attribute of an event, but of the
combination of time slot and room into which it might be scheduled. In
summit-speak, I think we should make a new Ad-hoc type of a Slot. It is
probably possible to make it so that such slot/room combinations aren't
available for scheduling until we want them to be. i.e. 24 hours in
advance, or whatever time limit content team decides.

Then within those slots any appropriate type (talk, BoF, social,
discussion, what-have-you) of Ad-Hoc events could be scheduled.

Being Ad-Hoc is about when an event's creator(s) gets to claim space and
time for it. Not about what said event is going to do with that
space&time.
