Schedule

Note that we'd like to strike a balance between the last two summits, by having some scheduled talks, but also scheduled open time for discussions, BOFs, and hacking. When I (Luis) say 'hacking' throughout the schedule, I mean 'hack, talk, do whatever floats your boat, including schedule another mini-talk or BOF.' If I left your subject of interest off, it is no fault of yours; it can always be proposed in the wiki beforehand or done on the fly- given the convenient availability of large chalkboards in the hallways, we can experiment with something like Foo Camp's on the fly scheduling. Note that in general, we have tried to schedule rooms so that they have (talk)(hacking)(talk)(hacking), so that there can be flexibility for hacking after talks if people want them to.

The Rooms

We have three rooms reserved for the event.

• A large auditorium on Saturday and Monday (10:30->1:30 or so Saturday, 2:00->5:30 pm Monday).

• Two approximately 50 seat classrooms (rooms 124 and 144) all three days.

There is also a lot of hall space with tables and chairs, and outdoor patio space with wireless. There will be no hacking room with hardware, unfortunately- please bring laptops and be willing to share with others!

Each room will have projectors; we'll try to bring two extras and as many power cords as we can scrounge. But if you can bring your own power cords, that would also be good.
