15 is ok with me.

Going out for lunch would likely require 1h30m, but we can make it in
1h if we'll use lunch order forms, I'll check it out with local
restaurants.

>> - Someone from the bank hosting the event: opening talk on day 2

On Thu I should get a definitive answer.

>> (unless they prefer day 1)
>> - Michiel: closing talk on day 2
>>
>>
>> Roberto: do you have an update who can do a talk on day 1 ? If I recall
>> correctly, it was mention during one of the conference calls that an
>> Italian city or local government could be presenting a use case...

I'm pushing them, likely tomorrow I should get a definitive answer on this too.
>>
>> In addition, I'd like to have someone to do the round-up on day 2 who is

>>
>
> Maybe you?

>>
>> I've listed myself to do a "lessons learned" on day 2, but that spot is
>> vacant if someone else wants to do it (of course, that person should be
>> present on day 1 as well...)
>>
>
> Can we combine "lessons learned" with the wrap up?  Is it the same thing?

> Another short topic that might be worth adding:

> portable/interoperable documents

cool idea!.
