I'm going to suggest two slots but on distinct days. And I'll split up
the topics between the slots, that way you can have a chance at going to
one or the other.

What about splitting the BoF's into:

(1) Runtime Issues:
- dlopen vs TLS
- ...

(2) Infrastructure Issues:
- Build bots
- Test suite
- Benchmarking
- ...

Thoughts?
