First, I would like to know why we can do 9hr long days in person, while we can't even manage 7.5 hour virtual days. I think that this needs to be unpacked a lot more in the survey. Second, that doesn't explain why we are starting at the times we starting. I don't think it helps people in any of the time zones. (Starting earlier would probably be kinder to Pacific coast types. We start at 9pm Pacific now, end at 3am. If we started at "10am" local", then we'd end at 1am, which is just a late night for them. I expect to flip my time zone: it's the full 12 hour flip for me. Starting later doesn't help me much. {Given my investment of ~36hours to do this, I'd kinda like to maximimze my investment.} The current schedule has only 30 minute breaks. This isn't enough for people where it's "day" to eat and still do any kind of cross-polination. For people for whom it's middle of the night, I guess we'll have to bring box lunches to our desks. The bigger point is that 30 minutes is not enough to: 1) finish 3 minutes late 2) go to the washroom 3) connect to gather.town to chat with someone 4) eat/drink while this occurs 5) arrive 3 minutes early for the next session I'm glad that there are 7 tracks rather than 8, though. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@sandelman.ca> . o O ( IPv6 IøT consulting ) Sandelman Software Works Inc, Ottawa and Worldwide
