[Foss4g2010] Presentations and posters

[Lorenzo Becchi]

I have to admit that the random confusion between starting, ending, moving,
eating (and trying to see Barcelona during the night) can make life really
stressful in those days.

We are in Spain and I'm still looking for a way to include the "siesta" [1]
into the program.

So I support 20+5+5.

thanks for all your opinions
