Could you tell me what it is supposed to happens in the short daily plenary?
I like the idea, but I doubt we can raise enough attention to have
attendees.
Anyway video-team members cannot participate. I think also speakers will
be in the appropriate room to test equipment. I expect some attendees
will search good places in the room (aka near electric sockets).
And if it only an announcement session (also a raffle IMHO will not help
much), after two days most of attendee will skip it. [5 minutes to enter
in the room, 5 minutes to listen announcements and 5 minutes to go to
next talk room, gaining exit as quick as possible...]
So if you cannot attract much attention, I think it is waste of time to
digress about breakfast schedule. Or you have positive example on other
conferences?
Before or during dinner could have some more attendees and attention
[what I could skip tomorrow?, so letting me to sleep more], but never
100% of attendees.
Note: to have most people on group photo, the usual debconf method is to
detach network. In the morning I think it will not suffice: this is DebConf!
