I support the effort, but not the timing.
Maybe having an hour reserved at each end of the day for BoFs would be a
compromise (just an idea popping right now).

Objet : Re: Proposed WG and BOF Scheduling Experiment
I think having the BOFs early in the week is a good idea but I'd modify
the proposal a bit.
Background: At this meeting, we have 8 BOFs. There are also 7 or 8
meetings in each of the sessions (9-11:30, 1-3, 3-4).
Scheduling all 8 BOFs at the same time will maximize overlap between
them
but otherwise not affect the schedule. However, the overlap does
not make this a good idea. Also, the lengths of the BOFs will vary, so
one size fits all is not a good idea.
If we schedule 4 BOFs at the time and have NO WG meetings in parallel,
reduce overlap for the BOFs BUT at the same time create more conflicts
for the rest of the week, as 8 WG sessions have to be put elsewhere in
the schedule. This is not a good idea either. 4 BOFs with meetings
in parallel works better. 4 BOFs with 4 regular meetings at the same
time does not have much impact on the rest of the schedule, but there
is still a fair chance of overlap.
So, I'd take it a step further: Starting Monday morning, 2 of the 7
or 8 meeting slots in each session are reserved for BOFs and the other
4 or 5 for WG meetings. That way, we'll have all the BOFs done by
Tuesday lunchtime, giving time to discuss the results during the week,
and impact on the rest of the schedule is minimal.
