One question came to mind with regard to the room layouts. Will we require a different setup for Tutorials and Sessions? I suppose this comes down to whether we are putting tables into the tutorial rooms or letting people run their laptops in their laps. I bring this up because the latest program proposal has the potential to require six reconfigurations (of two rooms) during three days. The previous required two. The addition of tables would also reduce the number of people the rooms can handle. Is everyone happy running tutorials without tables?<br>

* We have a spare keynote speaker slot. Paul Ramsey has been recommended. Paul recommends Damian Conway, who presented to rave reviews at FOSS4G 2007, and who happens to be Australian. (Will cost us ~ $2000, which is in our budget).<br>

I've chased Damian Conway, and he has responded saying he doesn't feel he can give a worthy speech, unless he gives exactly the same speech he gave in FOSS4G 2007, which he didn't want to do.<br>
<br>
So I'm hoping Paul Ramsey will accept the offer to keynote the last day.<br>
