Scheduling opened up on Monday, but I forgot about it until late Tuesday. Because of that, I won't be going to any of the ATT sessions. Darnit.
On the other hand, it looks like Lunch will be a hit-and-miss thing this year. The sessions that I have that block out a lengthy lunch are ones I kinda want to go to. Lunch is served from 11:00-2:30, so it gives a wide range to get fed. We need it.
Monday: Lunch-break! Yay!
Tuesday: 15 minutes between "Securely Locking Down Your SLES/OES Server" and "Wiki Collaboration and Community Culture: Putting the Best of Open Source to Work"
Wednesday: 15 minutes between "AppArmor Profiling of Applications for System Administrators and Software Vendors" (which runs from 11:00-1:45. WTF?) and "Kernel Optimization / Tuning"
Thursday: 30 minutes at 2:00 right after "Using eDirectory for much more than just an LDAP store"
Friday: 45 minutes at 1:45 right after "OES Cluster and Disaster Recovery Roadmap and Futures"
So when I can get lunch, it'll be late. Me thinks I'll be smuggling bagels out of Breakfast again.
In other news, there isn't a lot of wiggle-room in the schedule. Some of the lunch-obscuring sessions may get skipped. Thursday's session is right up there, especially if I'm partially burned out and the topic doesn't grab me. Friday's 11:00 session, YaST Architecture, may get droped in a fit of "I don't care" as well. As expected, I'm catching a LOT of linux sessions. One session I wanted, Deploying Novell Storage Services (NSS) on OES Linux, has already filled up so I can't go.
I'll also be going to a couple of the 'Birds of a Feather' sessions. BOF177, Communities and Sharing Information (a.k.a. peer-support options for Novell) Monday night, and BOF175, Higher Education Wednesday night. I went to the Higher Ed one last year, and it was pretty good. It proves that WWU is just a mid-sized university, dispite our warm-body-count of around 18,000 students.
Gonna be a busy one.
