What we find is trying to fit development time in is hard (ie, getting those 
heads together once a year and then conflicting with presentations). This is 
one of the biggest uses of the LGM period the Scribus team has, and its done, 
at this point, only once per year.

I think it should be officially 3-4 days still, but have mornings or afternoons 
or 1-2 days for just development within or between teams. If it happens that 
we have enough talks to fill more time, then there are surely some talks purely 
for end-users that could be scheduled appropriately where only one team member 
would have to go to.

The FOSS movement in Montreal and the following that LGM and other 
organisations have there is pretty strong so we should have some time for 
those people to get a lot out of it too.

The time period 6-10 May is ok for me, whatever is chosen.
