wow, great job.

I take it you know

which seems to be very similar.

looks like it's a great basis for one already.

It can be on the lower end of the suggested page-count. And I guess that
explaining how the hw/sw works and giving a short demo will easily fill
a 30 min presentation.

Basically we'd like to encourage authors to submit some lasting
documentation that others can built upon, reference and discuss.

just grab

it's easier than you think.

There have been quite some informal demo sessions which were not on the
program at LACs. - You know how this goes when hackers & artists get
together..

It might be a good idea to allot a timeslot for lightning-talks and
short presentations, because some of said demos accounted for less
participation in concurrent main-tracks.

I'm CCing the the organizing committee on this.

best,
robin
