so what about 2 days single track and 1 day with breakout sessions. So
we could do 12 talks with morning and afternoon sessions on the 3rd day
as needed.

If we have many proposals for presentations, we can always go switch to
2 tracks. If we require LinuxCon registration, then it should be no
problem to get a second room. If not, I have to negotiate with Angela
next week ;)
