BIL 2009

This, as with all other things on this wiki, is a work in progress.

Schedule

The talks I'm planning on attending. Yes, I realize some of these overlap.

My first pass was to pick all of the talks by people I know. After removing some clashes, I added in other talks that looked interesting, or the least un-interesting for the time slot.

Saturday
