Thanks for the details, this helps.

Any idea what the breakdown in days are going to be, like "Forum" 
sessions are Monday/Tuesday or Tuesday/Wednesday, or are they all four days?

The nova people that are going to be there would like to take advantage 
of the face-to-face time to work on some of the priority items for the 
Pike release in the free hacking/meetup space but without knowing when 
the other sessions are going to be it's hard to know when we can 
schedule space in the hacking pit.

If that's all TBD that's fair, I just wanted to ask.
