Notes from retrospective
Move to a more typical BarCamp weekend schedule (Fri-Sun)
Break in between each session slot (15-30min)
Review the schedule more frequently (during each break)
Get indication of topics and requests before the event
Replay hot sessions multiple times in the day
Clean up the "registration" process a bit and offer incentives to register early to get a more accurate count
