# Pista ng Mapa 2020 program structure

## Theme
There will be no specific topical theme for the conference but we encourage presenters to use Philippine context, data, or examples as much as possible.

## Language
* Not decided yet
    > From meetings, English is preferred but left to the presenter

## General outline
* 3 to 4 half-days spread over successive Fridays
  * Not yet decided how long is a half-day: 4 hours? 6 hours?
* Presentations will be prerecorded

## Session types
1. 25-minute presentation
2. 25-minute workshop
3. 50-minute workshop
4. 5-minute lightning talk

* Those who run workshops can propose to have a series of workshops spread over consecutive weeks. So a 3-hour workshop can be broken down into three 1-hour workshops.
* For workshops aside from the prerecorded video, presenters are highly encouraged to provide their presentation and/or material in advance (such as a GitHub/GitLab repository containing materials and data).
  * The idea is that the conference is like a cooking show but we also provide the cookbook in advance.
