Yes, we should keep a reasonable amount of breaks. After all, people are
there for the fun and not for work :)  There could be some kind of open
channel if people want to "hang around" during breaks.

Yes, definitely, although I do not know how many people the server can host.
And actually the server is not responding right now...

Maybe one day would be good for a first trial? Then also people would have
some free time (family life and so on) over the weekend without feeling
they are missing out on something. So why not just the Sunday?

Maybe if things work well, it would make sense to have shorter, one-day
events more frequently, and the Guix Days over two or three days before
FOSDEM.

Or use the BBB and/or Jitsi resources at the maths department of CNRS?
They should be more or less idle during the weekend.
