We aren't scheduling hackfests in the audi.  I don't think hackfests
needs much of scheduling anyway.  They are on the 3rd day and can be
pretty much ad-hoc

So audi,  two seminal halls and two classrooms will be scheduled.  We
are leaving one unscheduled for ad-hoc sessions and one for press
interviews on 4th and potentially on 5th as well.  Press is planning to
do interviews post the keynote.  I will update timings when I get to
hear back from others.

40+10+10 as Shakthi indicated.

Its already a very busy schedule but we can try to repeat some of the
workshops if it is possible.

Schedule has been adjusted.
