Description Andrew Eisenberg

I understand that it is a little late for schedule changes, but just wanted to know if it's perhaps still possible to reschedule a talk to a skightly different time.

The two talks:

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2009/sessions?id=648
and
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2009/sessions?id=280

are concurrent.  However, they deal with complementary subject matter and I believe that there is an audience for both talks.

Would it be possible to move one of these two talks forward or backward a slot so that it would be possible to attend both?

thanks.

Andrew,

I am sorry to see that this happened, but I really don't want to make a change in the schedule at this point.  I have been trying to fix some issues, but only if I can do it without breaking other talks.  

The last couple of times I tried to make things better, they ended up getting worse for someone.

Hi Scott!

I understand your concerns completely, I would fear exactly the same. Maybe a very very small change would be to switch the sequence of the two talks in my short talk slot (so it would be just a change within one short talk slot). Then people could watch Andrews talk (which is the first one in his slot) and then walk over to mine. What do you think?

Again, I completely understand if you don't want to do such late changes. Its just an idea and I am looking forward to reading your opinion on it... :-)

Thanks!!!
-Martin

Closing because the conference is over.
