Indeed - these should have 1 or 2 sessions with no competition.

For a small audience (yes, 300 persons is a small audience) the schedule should be carefully done, probably the rooms should be divide by intended audience (developers/power users/users...), instead of the usual themes/areas (desktop/multimedia...).
Makes sense.

We can't make everyone happy, but trying to avoid very related presentations at the same time should be a good start, people usually get pissed when they have two presentations at the same time, that they like to attend. As participants, some of you already experienced that situation for sure .
Very tricky to do. It's easy not to put two Mer presentations at the same time, not so easy to please people who are interested both in application development and developing the platform, say.

About the call for papers, I don't know the amount of submissions that you are expecting, but agree that the wiki isn't the best option to organize it.

How was it done in the 2008 summit ?
The wiki. Quim can speak to how easy/hard it was to organise.
