I do notice from the schedule: https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/conference/osc2013/schedule#2013-07-2 2 that there are sessionss on Monday which seem important. This would be a soft day for community meetups and such - I would not have sponsor talks there (Georg, Hans de Raad), just BoF's.
Those are all workshops.
Note that there will be no video recording and no networking materials from SUSE (all materials from SUSE will be packed on Sunday night and will be send back to NUE on Monday).
WTF! Why? Monday is still a conference day. We never agreed on ripping everything down on Sunday!
Monday was a 'soft day' and the openSUSE team (including equipment) is planned to leave Monday morning around 9. The SUSE team has planned to dismantle the network and video equipment Sunday night and schedule a UPS pickup on Monday, to be overseen by Lars/Jürgen/me. I'm not saying I'm terribly happy with it - when preparing the booking for the team I tried to get a flight late on Monday but there simply wasn't any. But this has been the plan for a long time. If Jürgen and Lars are willing to take care of dismantling everything themselves that'd be cool but we have to change plans.
I thought we would do this year "quality over quantity" and that would mean putting good talks (and I see Georg Greve here!) on the main days and no important content on Monday...
How about you figure out a 2 hour workshop that is less important and doesn't have a speaker that is leaving early. I'm looking forward to hear your ideas :-)
He, I appreciate the complexities, I had a chat with Kostas and Stella and they explained the issue :(
