Yeah sorry, I got sidetracked by other stuff. I wanted to make a 
tentative schedule first but it's tedious in pentabarf.

I'll send a mail to each speaker but I can already announce that all 
proposed talks are accepted. Funny how extending a deadline by 3 days 
gets you exactly enough talks to fill the 8 hours day :-)

Since not all of you are in Europe, please tell me ASAP if you have 
scheduling constraints, I didn't notice any in the submission notes.

We can't push much on the record deadline, as we (well, I) have to 
review the recordings beforehand, and last year I had to rework audio on 
some recordings where it was too noisy or too low.

So you can start planning your video already.

Also remember the allotted slot is for both the video + live Q&A, so if 
you asked for 30min you'll probably want to make your video at 25min to 
have two or three questions live.

Of course there will be the separate jitsi session after for 
discussions, but those won't be broadcasted since we'll already have 
started on the next talk.


François.
