[FOSS4G-UK] Notes from FOSS4G:UK 2023 Meeting 26th July

[Dan Ormsby]

Hi all,

Just thinking a bit more about agenda timings (specifically I was looking
at how much speaking time we might need at local venues).  I presume we
need to have consistent local session timings across all venues, so that
streaming etc is in synch.

Personally I feel that sessions that are around an hour and a half long
with breaks in between works about right, probably with a "proper" coffee /
networking break in the morning, 45 min lunch (an hour always seems a bit
more than necessary), and a short 15 min comfort / leg stretch / breather
in the afternoon.  So, how about this below.  Any thoughts?  We'd have to
keep local session 3 to tight timing to allow for reconvening for the
keynote and tech swap over, unless those two sessions were swapped?  In
total that would give 180 mins of local sessions (6 x 30 min talks, or
equivalent).
