[Foss4g2009] Amended Conference Program Available

[mapbutcher]

Cameron,
I think we may need to reconfigure sessions/tutorials once we have an
understanding of the response we get for tutorials.

I'll leave the program as is for the moment and we can review after tutorial
submissions close

Cheers

Simon

>>
>> This includes the majority of changes with the following exceptions -
>> happy to be shot down
>>
>> 1. I've opted for running all keynotes on Wednesday and Thursday because

>>      dinner can be a bit sketchy...given the previous nights festivities
>>
>> 2. The following sessions will be in rooms with tutorial set ups to save
>> room reconfiguration
>>
>>    * 21/10 Parkside G03 session 11.00-11.30
>>    * 21/10 Parkside G03 session 11.30-12.00
>>    * 22/10 Parkside G03 session 11.30-12.00
>>    * 22/10 Parkside G04 session 11.30-12.00
>>
>> 3. I've kept the AGM to be scheduled for the 21st from 16.30-18.00 because
>> i think it would be better attended on the first day of the conference given
>> that many attendees may have travel arrangements for the Friday afternoon
>>
>> 4. Extended the CCIP panel to 45 mins as per discussions at the last OC
>> meeting
>> 5. Extended conference close and Sol Katz award to 45mins
>>
>> 6. Summary
>>
>> 12 tutorial
>> 94 presentations (dropped 3 presentations)
>>
>> G03 and G04 remain primary tutorial rooms. Due to room configuration we
>> can either:
>>
>> a) accept a reduced capacity for a small number of presentations in these
>> rooms (see point 2 above)
>> b) organise resources to reconfigure these rooms at the necessary times
>>
