Hmm....2 days ! Never thought about it ;-) What do you propose would be the agenda for the second day? Convincing the organizers should be the easy part if the proposal is solid enough. If any single session is beyond 1.5hours it will be close to impossible to hold audience attention. It might be ok only if it is a hands-on where everyone gets to work. We might need an upfront registration to ensure suitable attendance and a successful program. Solving bite-sized-bugs doesn't seem to fit into the project day's guidelines. There is a 3rd element to foss.in, "The FOSS.IN HackCenter" (Basically some infrastructure is provided - It is a large area which will be open throughout the conference duration, from 9:00am to 7:00pm, where people can get together to work on FOSS projects). We should expect the hackcenter thing to be completely unstructured and free format, unless we suggest the idea of a *slot* for any particular day for OpenSolaris. Maybe we can ask for 0.5day of project day halls, cover building ON, code structure & bite-sized-bugs as a 1hr session, 0.5hr session about a carefully selected set of bite-sized-bugs and then move to hack-center for working on bite-sized-bugs for next 2 hours. Keep the thoughts coming in..... ~Shiv
