This split in the PTG week raises an obvious question ...

Do we expect the horizontal folks to skip town by mid-week, or to hang
around without a home-room in order to talk to the vertical folks who
put the "project" in "cross-project"?

Conversely, do we expect the vertical teams to turn up on the Monday in
order to collaborate with the horizontal teams? (similarly without a
project room for the first 2 days?)
