As the organizer of the X.org devroom, i would have to state that the 
latter is impossible. I tend to do a bit of room set-up, like put in 
some power bars (a limited amount this year, as i only have been given 
one day and it simply is not worth putting in the cabling for 100 
sockets, and dragging all that kit over from Nuremberg, for just a 
single day) and some other things. I need one hour at least for that on 
saturday morning.

DevRooms are also not supposed to open before 11:00 (which is already a 
massive improvement over 2011 and the years before, where i was happy 
to be able to put the cabling in at 12:00), and i tend to first get a 
nod of approval from the on-site devrooms supervisor before i go in and 
set up the room.

So use the hackingroom this year. Things will hopefully be better next 
year.
