The general themes of the conference are day-based rather than stream-based.

Sunday is presentation & tutorial day - the day when people get to show 
off the cool things they have already done.

Monday is work day. The whole afternoon is set aside for planning 
sessions, and the morning is chocablock with BOFs and lightning talks. 
this should be a really cool day.

Finally, Tuesday is the day when we show off GNOME to business and 
users. There is a focus on how free software is being deployed, how it's 
being used, and also on the interesting innovations happening in the 
GNOME world, and in the free software world at large.

There is also a social side to things - issues like patents and free 
software in education are important to the community, and deserve a 
place in our flagship conference.

I can see you're a multimedia type of guy :) So the multimedia 
conference is a real treat - we have made sure that no multimedia talks 
are clashing.

In general, at any given time, you are likely to find a talk on 
infrastructure, a talk on an application, a tutorial presenting a GNOME 
technology and a talk from the multimedia conference. Unfortunately that 
means that sometimes multimedia talks clash with tutorials or 
conferences that are interesting.

GTK# and Mono tutorial.

> Remotely Useful? (what?)

A GNOME remote desktop application.

Cheers,
Dave.
