Sure, though I don't understand the importance. You can already see the
talks on the website. Is it that important which talk is when
(especially as I'm sure thing will change a lot after July 1st anyway,
when we contact the speakers that haven't registered yet). I would
rather think having key note speakers fixed is more important.

Then I'll try to do it before June 1st, but if that doesn't work out
it's more like June 15th or so.

Cheers,
  Volker
