Yes traditionally we have tried to roughly organize the time, to focus
the first two days on horizontal / cross-project / guild / SIG work, and
the next three days more on vertical work. But that is more of a rough
guideline than a hard rule: the constraints of available space make that
division a bit fuzzy. For example in Dublin, Manila has been asking to
avoid being scheduled at the same time as Cinder, and got scheduled to
Tuesday and Friday.

So while it's very likely that the traditional Ops meetup sessions would
happen on Wed-Thu, don't plan travel just yet ! Once we know how many
rooms we have, which groups want space and for how many days, we'll work
on a more precise allocation.

It's also worth noting that it is possible for groups to book additional
meeting spots outside the pre-allocated time and space. If some work
groups realize they would like to meet on Monday to get work done,
that's definitely possible. It all appears on the dynamic event schedule
to make it easy to see what's going on.
