Yes, I know that but their Google form allows to apply for a BoF session
of 3 or more hours as well and I was under the impression that BoF
sessions are typically under 3 hours. I also checked with them and they
said that there is no separate track kind of thing planned at the moment
for kernel/os/hardware topic. It'll be based on submissions they receive.
So, that is also something unclear.

This is why I thought that we can just apply for a space and projector under
BoF session and can then probably accommodate some talks with
open discussions. Or may be some topic based open discussion slots
without proper talk.
