This is why I think it might be best to have two tracks next year. 
That way we could finish all of the talks before dinner, get some
food, and then have more time for discussion groups, lightning talks,
general socializing, etc, after dinner.

But, that largely depends on submissions for next year.  And, of
course, how David and Chad feel about it. :)
