This is a great idea. I fully subscribe it.
Various ESO colleagues would be very interested in this.
Should it be done within a DAL session? Apps? VOQL?
Or as an extra parallel session?

On Wednesday currently there is a half an hour gap in the program
starting at 12:00 (after the parallel VOTable ad Apps-2).
Is half an hour enough?

Yes? No? Preferences?
