Given that I'm working on the schedule for Debian Mini-Conf@LCA2003 at
the moment, I'm reading all these DC2 post-mortems with a great deal of
interest.
What do other developers think about the idea of hacking sessions? I've
got 2 days allocated at the moment (see http://lca.apt-cacher.org/)
which are both sliced up into presentation sessions. Is there a
consensus to make at least part of one of these days a hacking session?
We're probably limited to a total of 2 days (limitations of venue
availability, unless someone in Perth wants to donate a hall for a day
for a hack session).
Opinions?
