Should I have brought it up earlier or later? What is in time for 2015, say?

I didn't realize the research on this was done. Could I see it?

I'm also confused as to why you're making an argument in this discussion 
when this is not the right place, right way or the right time to discuss 
this.

Okay, in this case my proposal is that each year we do a 
random.randint(1, 6) (a 6 sided die) and that's the length of the 
conference.

Sarcasm aside, more seriously:

Andreas, I realize you're probably feeling overloaded about this 
conference, but you just told somebody who tried to give constructive 
criticism and bring up a topic that ties directly into the speaker 
selection debate that's going on anyway to shut up and go away. It's not 
appreciated and I'm feeling strongly inclined to do just that right now. 
Bye.
