Pre-scheduling a few sessions is good. But I really would like to leave at 
least 40% of the slots free, for on-site scheduling. We aren't sure who's 
coming or what subjects will turn up during discussion.

As a consequence, there's also a temporal component: more sessions pre-
scheduled for the beginning of the event, fewer towards the end.
