Please note, aside to bringing us all together, one of the main goals is
seeing the different perspectives and current operations of the different
sides of the fight.

The agenda is quite tight.

Perhaps *too* tight.  When I was at Usenix SRUTI '05 last year, the single
biggest problem with an otherwise good workshop was a lack of cross-pollination
time.  And that schedule was nowhere *near* as tight, and fewer attendees.

Remember that the hallway track of a conference is where much of the
most interesting stuff happens:

11:55 - 12:30         Lunch break     Got chow?

Indicative of the problem.  3 hours of sessions, followed by only a half hour
to eat *and* discuss (at SRUTI, it was an hour, lunch was provided, and it
*still* wasn't enough time to eat and discuss as well). Then another 6 hours of
sessions scheduled with only a 10 minute break.
