Hey,
I was a bit vague earlier. Just to be clear: I wasn't proposing to
automate the scheduling.
What I am proposing is that the tags be printed on the bits of paper
that our human scheduler(s) end up using in their manual paper-shuffling
exercise, to reduce the amount of thinking they have to do during that
process.
Optionally, and completely separately, it might also be nice to have a
constraint *checker*, that runs on the output of this manual scheduling
process, to quickly verify whether a given schedule looks valid or not.
This could be run as a quick sanity check on final iterations or changes
to the schedule. It would likely be relatively easy to write, &
unintrusive if it goes wrong, but this idea is entirely optional. Do you
think it has any mileage? I'm hazy on the current data flow from django
to printed timetable, so I don't really know whether this is feasible at
all.
Best regards,
Jonathan

Given these numbers, I've attached a mock up schedule (odf and pdf).
The placement of talks is arbitrary and impossible, ignore those. How
does the length of each day, and the timings of the slots look?
If there is agreement, I will send out emails to all submitters
formally accepting/declining their talks.
Timings all look fine to me.
Are we intending to use the same timetable generation scripts as last
year? (i.e. those in /home/ep2010/ep2010site/talk_build). If so we will
also need to encode the schedule in ep2010_schedule.py.
Everyone might be well aware of this, but I thought it best to raise it
before too much effort is put into recording the results of the scheduling.
If so I would be happy to modify the scripts to enforce the tag rules
that Jonathan is talking about. At least I am happy to have a go!
Regards
Richard
