Sorry for top posting, on phone.
I noticed a pattern where ppl proposed a 30 min talk + corresponding

Maybe we need a session where everyone who has an approved
hackfest or workshop can give a short 5 min ad piece on it? Rather

I was noticing the same thing. I was thinking that we should just
have
an included "talk" - I hadn't decided on length and 5-10 min seems good,
on day 1 to help "level set" the event.
