iCal is on the way!
I’ve been working hard with Dan Klein in the past few days to put together an iCal calendar that contains the session information for the conference. I’ve never put one of these together before, so I’m still making some beginner’s mistakes. Dan and I settled on a simple multi-line format for the records that will be easy to maintain. Dan wrote a perl script that converts this format to ICS and from there (as I understand it) iCal compatibility is a snap. For now we don’t have location information on any of the sessions. Once we get room names we will add that stuff to the calendar. I am also currently musing about whether or not to include the invited talk descriptions. Right now it is just speaker and talk title. But I may add the descriptions as well before we make the calendar live. I’m not much of an iCal person, so this is all still pretty new to me.
I shall keep you posted.
