Hi Doug,
      Sorry for the late response.

      The schedule looks fine for the Test and Performance category except:

-Long talk #321 is still outstanding.
-Can we swap short talk #122 with either #360 or #498 so Sriram can have
contiguous slots?
-When are the Gold Sponsor Talks scheduled (e.g. #154)?

PS

Hi PC,

I?ve finished scheduling the accepted talks. Most of this was done before
the holidays, but I had a few more things to wrap up.  The process I
followed is below in case you?re interested.

There isn?t a lot of time to make major changes, but I need each category
lead to review the ordering of your talks to make sure I didn?t make any
mistakes in order or speaker overlap (hit the swap button to see speakers).
If you want to reorder anything, I need to hear before this coming Monday.
You can view (but not edit) the schedule here:

The username/pw is the same one you use for the submission system.

Tutorials

Group categories as much as possible, avoid speaker overlap, and use
recommended ordering from category leads.

Longs/Shorts

Optimize for:
      ·         no speaker overlap
      ·         no category talk overlap
      ·         minimal repeat category parallelism (e.g. Eclipse and OSGi
      talks aren?t always in parallel)
      ·         even distribution of categories over the three days
      ·         specific talk ordering as recommended by category leads
      ·         panels in the theatre

I generated the breakdown in Excel for longs/shorts to figure out grouping.
Then I went to the online tool and dropped things into place.  I reordered
based on my best guess at room size needs.  I also looked for speaker
overlap and side-by-side speakers on shorts.  I may have missed something
between long and shorts, although because I didn?t allow category overlap
and I checked Philippe closely, I probably haven?t missed very many.
