By reading the meeting logs I saw that the idea is to have 3 tracks in
the schedule. However, this was pointed as one of the downsides of
FUDCon Santiago [1]. Unless we are expecting a huge public or a big
number of talks, 2 tracks seems more appropriated. In FUDCon Santiago a
lot of attendees didn't know what talk to watch due to some of them had
been scheduled at the same time. As a consequence, rooms had few
attendees because public got divided. There were also empty slots in the
schedule, what we should try to avoid as well.

In FUDCon Porto Alegre we had just one track and rooms were full in
almost in every talk. Maybe it is time to try an approach with 2 tracks
in order to find the right balance.
