You can definitely propose it. However, there is one problem - we only
have access to one room, so we can't set aside too much time. And
there is nowhere to expand to. Setting off 2 hours amounts to more
than 25% of the total availability we have in the devroom... And it
would be limiting this time to 10-20 people, instead of the usual >100
we have during these sessions...

Probably, but the question is how many :)
