Sorry for top posting, on phone.
I noticed a pattern where ppl proposed a 30 min talk + corresponding
hackfest.
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 than a talk?
Actually, I was recommending this approach over the "ad-piece". The
reason
is that the first 30-60 minutes of every hackfest always ends up being an
intro tutorial, which tends to waste the time of the knowledgeable folks in
the group.
I recommended that it would be best to pair a real hackfest with a
30-minute intro tutorial talk so that folks could spend more of the
hackfest time doing actual work. (And also this should mean that the
experienced folks could have that 30 minutes to attend another session).
