[development] DrupalCon poor planning around Jewish Holidays two years running

[Doug Green]

Not sure where to put this, so hear goes...

I was in Europe the week before DrupalCon last year, but went home 
before DrupalCon so I could observe my religions Holiest day of the 
year.  This year I decided to make at least a couple days of DrupalCon.  
But I'm confounded by the poor planning two years running.  Could the 
powers-that-be please schedule my sessions on the first 2 days (Thu or 
Fri morning).  And further, could we not schedule DrupalCon during these 
Holidays next year?

I'll be observing the Jewish High Holidays in Barcelona this year.  Does 
anyone on this list belong to any congregation in Barcelona?  I'm hoping 
to go to services on Rosh Hashanah (evening Wed 9/12 and morning Thu 
9/13) and Yom Kippur (evening Fri 9/21 and daytime Sat 9/22).    I've 
tried to contact the Reform congregation, but have had no success.  
Since I suspect most of the Reform Congregation will be in Spanish, I'd 
be happy to try any other synagogue.
