First of all, a big thank to the organizers. Great FOSDEM once again. It is amazing to see how the event gets larger without sacrificing quality. That's very difficult to achieve, so congratulations.
Absolutely.
It's funny that even with the increasing amount of smartphones and tablets, people still prefer schedules printed on paper.
Indeed: To help my personal schedule for which talks I can attend, I've printed the 18 landscape pages found in the a4.pdf, on a landscape A3 paper in this order (one day per page): saturday (one side): 1 2 3 (10:30 - 13:45) 4 5 6 (14:00 - 17:00) 7 8 9 (17:15 - 19:00) sunday (other side, or second sheet): 10 11 12 (09:00 - 12:15) 13 14 15 (12:30 - 15:30) 16 17 18 (15:45 - 18:00) Due to not being designed for printing this way, the text was quite small while there was lots of white space - but it still was useable. So I would appreciate to have the schedule also available designed for printing in some all-rooms-in-a-row-on-one-page layout. This, however, doesn't imply the whole day needs to be on one page - important is to have all rooms with concurrent talks visible in one row. Actually, this is how non-free conferences ship their schedule. Thank you! /haubi/
