[Jim Holmes]

In case you missed all the hubub on Twitter yesterday, we've posted
the session list for CodeMash!

You can view all the great content at www.CodeMash.org/Sessions.

There's lots of great information that goes out there, too!

Is there a time when the sessions start and end time wise? Can there
be more than one session signed up for in one day? I need to know
this to see if I should get a room or not. If the sessions end late I
will not want to drive home late to Cleveland from Sandusky. Thanks
for the reply.

I don't remember the timing of the sessions, but you should keep in mind the
"unsessions". Most (if not all) of the speakers will be hanging around, and
are always open for good old fashioned geek talk. Last year there were a
plethora of "bar-sessions" and "hallway-sessions" that were certainly as
valuable as the eyes forward sessions. It was as if the open spaces
assimilated all of the attendees, and it was way cool. So, that might be
something to keep in mind when deciding if you are getting a room or not
(and no, I am not on commission with the resort).

Just my two cents on staying vs driving.

+1 to what Phil said.  It's worth staying overnight.

We don't have the schedule finalized yet, just the session list. You
won't have to sign up for any sessions; you just hit whichever ones
you're interested in -- and you're welcome to move between sessions
while they're going.

Historically, breakfast has started at 7:00 with Thursday's opening
keynote around 8:30. Sessions start around 9:30/9:45 and run through
6pm.

You can see last year's schedule at http://2009.codemash.org/includes/CM-2009-Schedule.pdf.
The 2010 schedule will likely be close to this same format.

Good afternoon,

Regarding the schedule, my goal is to have it completed and available
by this coming weekend.

FWIW I echo Phil's sentiments regarding staying overnight. The
sessions are great but there's also lots going on in the evening
hours.

+1 Because this conference is inclusive, we pretty much take over the
place. All the social events are there, so you get to socialize a lot
more than any other conference I have been at. This includes hallway
conversations, formal parties, informal parties, water park
activities, etc. Staying overnight is highly recommended.
