They should definitely come.

Perfect though given that the open space only has a total length of 1h30 
I'm not sure we could allocate 40 minutes to them though we can see how 
this pans out (depending on demand we might split the open space between 
two different locations). Why don't you suggest the idea of attending to 
them and ask if they'd like to post a proposal on:

Also, as I said it would be for you guys to do a presentation on what 
you have been up to with deptford.tv and related stuff in the open space 
slot (for example I've proposed doing a 10 minute talk on the public 
domain burn and the associated public domain works database[1] in that 
slot).
