Ah, the joys of being a benevolent dictator, I set aside a full 90 minute slot on the first day for MR. Have a look here:

(you're more than welcome to comment on other aspects of the schedule as well, apart from saying it's too crowded, which it is - we need more time).

I'm not sure I'll be able to defend 90 minutes for MR for a lot longer. So prepare for the possibility you'll get fewer minutes.

At any rate, you (we?) need to prepare something for this slot. Who'll be the main speaker?

As I have a saying in the soon to be published first draft of the schedule, I'll just set aside time for the MR presentation/panel in the main conference, even without the "due process" of a submission.
However, our schedule is really really tight and so I'm afraid we can only realistically allocate about 45-60 minutes for this.

Harel - would it be possible to have this sort of time in the overall
schedule?  What are the next steps to proposing a talk and / or
workshop?

Those were suggestions, not submissions yet b/c of the deadline.  I
volunteer to write the abstracts.  MR is a diverse group -- depending
on the timing, a small panel would be nice.  Or a few lightning talks
by people working on difference facets, followed by a recap at the
start of our workshop.  By Wikimania, we should have our lightning
pitch about why this matters and what major issues we are addressing
down to under a minute.
