DrupalCamp Session Schedule Posted

Unfortunately the headings were only intended for use by the folks that were trying to make the schedule and not for the public. Mainly this is because, as Robbie points out, it is impossible to have the tracks be really on topic due to the sessions proposed and the slots available.

As such I think it is therefor a useless and arbitrary categorization that will do more to cause confusion than to help people decide what they want to attend.

For example, my session on the Rules module is technically Site Building and not about Non-profit or educational use of drupal, so it being in a "non-profit/education track is innacurate and could cause people to either decide to attend or not attend based on faulty information. There are a lot of other sessions that could be in many tracks but are in the track they are in due to the reality of trying to create a full schedule rather than based on where they fit best thematically.

So instead of being useful, it really ends up just being bad user interface, so a decision was make a while ago that the column headings would be removed. It should have been done before the schedule was publicly distributed. We'll know better next time (although next time will be an unconference and will not have a pre-published schedule).

I wish you would have been in touch with the organizers via the mailing list, IRC or here before you created an "official" printable schedule. That would have allowed us to avoid this confusion.

p.s.: I just want to say that I appreciate your effort to make a printable schedule and the effort of Robbie and Ezra to assemble a schedule. My intent by posting this criticism is not to criticize any individual but to make sure the schedule is as useful as possible to those attending.
