[Foss4g2009] Re: Tweaking and finalising the program

[Mark Leslie]

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?
