[Foss4g2009] Amended Conference Program Available

[mapbutcher]

Julia,

Your understanding of session layout and tutorial layout are the same as
mine:

sessions: theatre style
tutorials: classroom style

Regarding your second question - are you look at the correct program version

Any more questions let me know - but i'll be offline for a next few days

> screen) and a tutorials set up classroom style (each seat has a table still
> all facing front screen). Depending on the length of break between set up
> changes, and the size of the room, the venue would be able to change the set
> up of a room during lunch our.

> day long? I just want to make sure we are on the same page.

> 5. Extended conference close and Sol Katz award to 45mins

> 12 tutorial
> 94 presentations (dropped 3 presentations)
