=== Off-schedule hacking sessions ===

There is separate space available on Saturday and Sunday for hacking sessions, and Bastien is looking for somewhere for Monday too (if not, we can tour some cafes).

Ideas for sessions (please add/edit):
* Focus on a couple of 11.3.0 issues (Daniel, Simon, Saturday afternoon?)
* Finish some pending design discussions (Simon, Gary)
* The road to PyGI/GTK3: no-hippo, porting Sugar theme to GTK3, etc. (Daniel, Simon, Raul, Sunday and Monday?)
* Extra documentation session: wikification of OLPC's new deployment guide PDF, documentation for ongoing Haiti efforts (Christoph)
