One of the things we may want to try during the community sessions at 
these OpenSolaris Days is lightning talks of 5 minutes each and/or short 
20-25 minute talks instead of the hour-long talks (50 mins + questions). 
The reason I bring it up is that I went to the Ruby conference here in 
Japan recently and they had several dozen speakers over the course of 
the two day event and only two or three 1-hour long keynotes. In other 
words, many more people were able to participate, and the attention span 
of the audience was significantly increased as well. Just an idea ...
