<p>Alex, I feel there should be a community day plenary pitch
session as well, which should be toward the end of the last day,
and be for the leaders of community day to pitch the project they
want volunteers for, what roles they have available, etc. Ideally
attract Melbourne folk to decide to spend the next day at the
community day.<br>
</p>
<p>I'd say give people 2 to 3 minutes per pitch, and we will have
maybe 3 to 8 projects. So aim to fit within 10 to 20 mins.</p>
<p>I don't have an opinion on the other options you suggest here.<br>

- 1700 01:20, is that just the one panel? Is it just one topic
or different topics across the 1hr 20mins? My preference would
be to offer an alternatives if people aren't interested in the
panel, ie. not a plenary session.<br>

<div>fair enough :D - I was drawing inspiration from EGU style
‘beer and poster’ sessions - which work amazingly well for
both networking and science happening. I guess it’s not so
easy for presenters to talk over a crowd.<br>

<div>I think that the icebreaker should be almost purely a
networking thing. It would probably make more sense to
merge it with GeoRabble, but I think they already have a
line-up? Otherwise they would be two very similar
events.<br>

<div>Lightning talks are also a nice way to break up the
program for an audience whose attention span is fading
toward the end of the day ..<br>
