There is a scheduling meeting on Thursday 9 June at 17.30 CEST. As usual we are on the Freenode IRC channel.
I have made a first draft schedule at: http://www.strakt.com/~jacob/europython/schedule.html The purpose of this schedule is to allocate time between the different tracks and to allocate the right size of room for each talk. I have allocated rooms for each track so as to keep the track continuous in time (with a few small exceptions), but I have moved the track between rooms in order to make overcrowding of rooms unlikely. I have done my best to keep tracks with overlapping interests at different times, though this is very difficult, since several tracks run for most of the duration of the conference. As the next step, I have put in the talks into the schedule, with the most popular talks in the biggest rooms and the least popular ones in the smallest room. This is just a draft, to make sure that things fit, and to help you in your scheduling. You can move things around within your allocated time slots as you like. However, you are strongly advised not to move a talk to a smaller room, since this may result in an overcrowded room. If, for some reason, you want to move a time block you have been assigned, this has to be discussed at the Thursday meeting. You need a rather good reason for moving and you need to some idea for how to make a working solution for the problem. As soon as we are happy with the time/room distribution for the tracks, you can make the final scheduling. This can be done in one of two ways: 1. Log in to the CAPSconference system. For each of your talks, add a Performance, with the time and the alotted room. 2. Send me an email, with the details of when each talk should run.I will do the entering of the scheduling data. The schedule needs to be finished by Sunday 12 June. Jacob Here is some background information: Room VR will seat 180 persons Rooms VA and VB will seat 140 persons Room VF will seat 70 persons Room VV will seat about 50 persons If you multiply the interest figures by 3, you should get a reasonable approximation of the number of people who will attend a talk. _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
