Changing number of guests per call

[emdupre]

This was originally proposed by Nikola Stikov (who I can't find on GitHub ?), but it might be worth considering changing the number of guests per call from 3 to 2.

The benefits would be that each guest would have a bit more time to discuss their work and field questions from the audience, and it would also be easier for the host to check-in with / test connections for each guest before the call. Also, thinking about #17, having two guests would make it easier for each call to align with a theme.

The downsides include that if a guest can't attend at the last minute, then we'd only have one speaker to fill a full 30 minutes !

I'm leaning towards dropping down to 2 guests per call, though I know @KirstieJane is not convinced. But I'd love to hear other thoughts for or against !

well, if this is combined with some clear assurance from the speakers that they are taking this seriously ... The other possibility is to have a OS-SIG back up ready ! cheers JB
