[evergreen-outreach] scheduling the virtual conference

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

So, we have 17 presentations so far including the keynote & some interest
groups (and an 18th if you want to do the SQL one, Rogan). There are 10
presentations and a handful of interest groups that I'm still awaiting
yes/no answers from.

I think we'd almost have to go with 3 days, unless we're going to run some
concurrently. Are we open to the idea of doing tracks or groupings? Like,
"here's three presentations about reports" or whatever.
