Barry - question: is there a way to show the unconference stream on the on-line programme?

In the Google doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0At3duUeeqF8gdFJUc25yNkFUSlNBQmwyaDVNNG03Rnc#gid=3) the unconfrence was allocated to Session 45. I note that you don't currently have a session 45 (or 44) on your programme - and I'm guessing that is to account for the unconference in some way?

Yes, its awkward because its not in the already gridded rooms.

I can either do it as a Global Event or a Special Event.

Global Events (like Lunch, Registration) take up all the location slots across their time except where presentations happen. Unfortunately there's presentations from 11:30 to 12:30 in the last column so the Uncon couldnt be shown from 11:30 to 16:00 since there's no empty column for it to go in.

Special Events currently just get listed at the end of the timetable, but I might put them at the start instead. They serve to highlight daily specials like the unconference, the map gallery, etc. They only have a day, and only appear on that day's timetable, time and place details can be given in the description.

Special event sounds like the better approach to me
