Re: The Friday Experiment

["Paul Hoffman" <paul.hoffman@xxxxxxxx>]

I was one of the first to schedule a side-meeting on Friday, and I 
immediately got a few people saying "but I already scheduled to leave 
Thursday night because I assumed nothing would be happening on Friday". 
I scheduled a second side-meeting on the same topic on Wednesday. The 
Wednesday meeting had 35ish people, the Friday had below 20.

But I also note that very few side meetings were on the schedule for 
Friday, which to me says that maybe optimizing for side-meetings was 
overkill. A different idea is to have three rooms for side-meetings 
during the week because there was contention for the two in some slots.
