I also flew home Friday morning. Interestingly, some of my colleagues actually did plan to use Friday, and this turns out to have been (arguably) a mistake, although I'm really glad to be home. I think that what we should do is to have the experiment mid-week, not at the end of the week, and to make Friday a regular meeting day, not a special day that ends early..
I booked my travels in August and wasn't aware of this "experiment" until it was too late. Now, with the 6man side-meeting on friday I am happy I was there, I got a few hours friday afternoon for things I wanted to do in Bangkok and then took a midnight flight home.
A lot of flights leave Bangkok around midnight, at least Europe-bound. In other cities it seems long distance flights leave more spread out. I think this might be something that should be taken into account when it comes to deciding how to schedule Fridays for meetings.
It felt I had more conflcits this week compared to earlier meetings. I attend lots of different meetings, transport, internet area, netconf/netmod. I was quite surprised by the "oh, nobody would ever want to attend multicast and IPv6 standardisation so that's fine to schedule at the same time" conflict this time around. I typically have conflicts, but it felt this meeting was worse than average.
I also felt several sessions I attended were quite rushed and there wasn't enough time for discussions and presentations.
