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: http://www.google.com/search?q=conference+%22hallway+track%22
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.
