Allow certain users to schedule meetings without requiring a blueprint

[Jorge Castro]

Track leads and uds-organizers should have a quick way to add a session without relying on people to make a blueprint and have that imported, perhaps a "Add a session" button in the edit sidebar that takes them to a form:

Name:
Track:
Required People: (optional)
Hours Needed: #

This will then create a colored block in the sidebar and then the person can just drag it onto an empty slot. This way we can make adhoc meetings and mini summits without going into the admin interface.

This will depend on creating permissions levels as we want to take permissions away from just giving everyone admin access.

This is the number 1 priority for Linaro for the upcoming LCQ1.12...

The ability needs to be created that certain users (probably from a Launchpad team as some of the users may not fit into the track lead or is_staff roles) to be able to create a meeting, public or private, without a blueprint. It is also wanted that they are able to schedule the meeting for a certain time, while being notified if there are any conflicts at that time.

Another thing that this will require is the ability to mark people as attending and required to attend in Summit since there will be no BP to get the attendee information from.

These meetings also need to be able to fall outside of the time of regular sessions, i.e. before the day starts, during lunch, or after the day ends.
