I'm happy that I codified my thinking regarding the uses of speeches, tutorials, sprints, and breathing room. (I also namedropped GLAM and editathons, yay!) If other people think this is useful, feel free to put it on the relevant spots on OpenHatch's wiki and on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Volunteer_coordination_and_outreach/Event_pla... and https://outreach.wikimedia.org/ . Or tell me what the useful bits were, and I'll do what I can. :-)
