At this IETF, we have done a nice experiment with the modified
schedule of our meetings for the purpose of dealing with restaurant
hours.
From the first 2.5 days, I find this an extremely useful thing
and we should consider to organize out future meetings in a
similar fashion.
I've found the new arrangement pretty good too.
There are numerous benefits (not in any particular order):
-- less impact of jetlag: late night sessions are particularly
bad for all the people who fly across many timezones
I don't know about other people, but I've always felt pretty
tired after the dinner slot, jet lag or not...
-- easier dinner planning: in most places, we have seen cases
of (many) people being late for the evening session just
because of restaurant congestion
This is a big plus.
-- we have many informal get-togethers over dinners that would
no longer need to be cut short because of the evening session
-- we even gain an extra slot before the social on Tuesday night
We still can have informal late night meetings after so this
feature is not affected (and restaurants serve after 8pm in
other cities).
What do other people think?
Sounds good to me.
