Ok. The agreement included the video-team? (Sorry, I'm fresh in the
content team and unaware of most of decisions.)
Anyway, I'll draft this schedule overlapping meal time (when needed)
with ad-hoc sessions.
I think we have enough time and resources to distribute, but I need to
recount the number of hours/slots before saying anything else...

Doesn't make more sense for sponsors to attend on work days?
_Personally_, I'd think that in the point of view of sponsors, job
seekers, and the interest of most of debconf attendees, the job fair
could be done at the same time that hack-time.
