This is possibly the worst suggestion of all time, but I've told the
Glance team that we'll finish up by 11:30 a.m. on Friday, which will
free up the Glance room for Friday afternoon.  If other teams are taking
a similar strategy, there wouldn't be too much conflict, and maybe we
can hold a few sessions like this, which are important but seem to have
slipped through the cracks, on Friday afternoon?
