DrupalConParis2009 - Session Planning

Sessions schedule available on google spreadsheets

Adub — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 10:43:54 +0000

I've put two versions of the sessions on spreadsheets for easier printing, planning:

A publicly editable one so anyone can help improve it - http://tinyurl.com/mw2tz4

A view-only original in case the editable version gets vandalised or broken - http://tinyurl.com/nhg5fv

Schedule on the site doesn't help that much...

..actually does not help me at all I think.

I will have to wait for the paper brochure in order to build my own schedule with a pen. On the front page it's written 'plan your schedule' but there's actually not tool for this. I would have expected a bit more features in the schedule such as:
1/- showing with colors what are the sessions I voted for
2/- displaying on each block a personal checkbox for sessions i'm planning now to attend
3/- giving me informations on what are the letters in the blocs (oh i got it, it's the initial of the difficulty level)

Sessions selection criteria

Now that the schedule is almost completely defined i was wondering what are the criteria followed to make the selection.
Certainly not only the received votes since there are sessions with a very few votes admitted while others have been excluded.
Some clearing words about this would be appreciated.

Program Day 1?

Hi,

Are there any clear plans as to what is taking place on Tuesday. (Day 1?).
There did seem to be mention on the main schedule page that there would be sprints, training and commercial events - but I don't see these listed anywhere?

Thanks,
Alec.

Reschedule my BoF?

Dave Cohen — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:12:07 +0000

I've proposed a Bof, http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/session/drupal-facebook-hackathon. I see that it has been added to the schedule, which is great.

However, it was added to the same timeslot as this session: http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/session/social-stack-fun-profit. Both sessions are about adding social features to Drupal sites, and will attract the same audience. In fact, I really want to attend one and host the other. So I don't want these two at the same time.

Is there anything I can do to reschedule my BoF?

did voting really influence session planning?

Is session planning actually influenced by the voting?
Few sessions which I voted for have been chosen (so far).
This could mean that my choices are outside the mainstream, but I do see at least one chosen session which received few votes.
So I'm wondering.

Planner tool

Will there be a session planner tool on this site?

I mean, so you can slot your sessions and print out a personal planner. Sorry, I know it's not a simple request, I just want to know.

Hold voting open past July 8?

Laura Scott — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:12:59 +0000

If voting is the determining factor, as stated, is it possible to hold open the voting for some time past the submission deadline so that the latest sessions can be seen and voted upon by registrants? Otherwise there's no point in submitting in the last couple of days because you'd never get enough votes. What do you think?
