[FOSS4G2016] [Program] Scheduled talks for plenary chamber

[Michael Gould]

In my opinion plenary sessions should try to highlight new and challenging
messages that would potentially benefit the whole community. Things like
business/sustainability models, support and training,
self-criticism,...rather than detailed coverage of products that people
more or less already know.
