Most of the people from Tirana will go back in the middle of Sunday
afternoon and wouldn't be able to give talks beyond 12:00 on Sunday.
Doing all the talks on one day would probably be easier as we would only
have to set up video equipment once.
We could still reserve a block of time on Sunday for practical
activities without speakers but maybe it wouldn't be the whole day.
E.g. maybe 10: 00 - 19:00 on Saturday but only 12:00 - 15:00 on Sunday
There was a brief meeting (myself, Open Labs members and Ardian) here in
Tirana yesterday and Ardian volunteered to look after the scheduling
details with the speakers.
We also discussed strategy for the schedule, some of the points that
came up:
- Linux installations should start as early as possible because for
people who want dual-boot, it sometimes takes a lot of time to
reorganize or shrink existing partitions or copy files out to their
external HDD. They might spend the morning getting organized, have a
break for lunch and then run the installer in the afternoon.
- it may be good to have one or two motivational talks very early on to
get people to the event and help them identify the free software themes
in the rest of the talks. One of these could be one of the Outreachy
talks (Renata or Kristi)
- Altin's proposed talk on the command line and other instructional
material could be useful at the end of the schedule as an introduction
for people who had just completed the Linux installation and want to
know what to do next
- the Outreachy talks could be done at separate times (e.g. one in the
morning, one later in the afternoon) for the benefit of people who don't
stay the whole day to see both
- things can happen in separate rooms, e.g. a main talk room, a separate
hacklab room for Linux installation and another room dedicated to
diversity (Outreachy applications, Fedora Women Day and CoderGals)
