wow, Cameron, interesting idea: 2 academic presentation in 30 mins, is it possible?<div>what's the opinion of the director of the academic track?</div><div><br></div><div>please remember what Cameron highlight about moving from one room to the other. The venue in Barcelona is big, it's all for us but we cannot grant that all your favorite presentations can stay in the same floor (AFAIK). </div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Lorenzo is right to try to match the academic and non-academic tracks in the program.<br>
Attendees spend a lot of time moving between rooms to try and catch all the presentations they want to see.<br>
<br>
We got feedback at foss4g 2009 along the lines of "it would have been better if the rooms were closer".<br>
So I suggest either keep the all presentations the same length, or match 2 academic to 1 standard presentation.<br>

Paul, others,<br>
does it make sense to have three session per hour for both academic and not?<br>
<br>
The program is still flexible and this is the time to decide about it.<br>
<br>
we will decide inside the LOC about the 15+5 for academic, I don't see any major problem for the moment to approve it.<br>
It would be easier, IMO, if the program can be synchronized between academic and not to let people easily choose their own scheduling of presentations.<br>

Warning: Don't balkanize the academic track by choosing a different<br>
presentation format from the other content. If everything is<br>
consistent, the talks can be mixed and matched into rooms depending on<br>
expected *demand and interest* rather than artificial categories<br>
("it's academic").<br>
