Dear all,
While sadly I'll not be attending the conference, from what little
exposure of conferences I have had in India, having self-scheduled
talks are cool. Many a times people do get inspired to give/share
something after hearing a talk or two. I have experienced and have
seen people overcoming their shyness and sharing whatever they know.
Sometimes, it may be boring, at times controversial and sometimes
downright useful.
In either of the scenarios, I believe and think it adds a bit of
character to the conference rather than taking it away.
FWIW, I highly enjoyed the lightning talks given on-topic and
off-topic in Debconf 16 and if memory serves right, most of them were
scheduled last-minute.
I hope this one tradition is encouraged rather than being discouraged.
