Volker,

I don't think we should rush to publish, publishing a temporary
schedule first and then changing a lot seems an even worst idea.

I am willing to regroup the other sessions this week should we go for
my scenario (or an adapted version).
It may also be helpful to know which keynoters are there. Eg if HOT
does not have a keynote, I think they should be in the plenary track
(I'd suggest instead of one of the QGis talks).

Kind Regards,
Johan
