What about setting a room about technology another room about big projects and a room about social to prevent collisions between technology talks

The general themes of the conference are day-based rather than stream-based.
Why?
I'd love to give you a better answer, but there are 2 main reasons - 
the first is that it's the way it was done before (the last 2 years), 
and the second is because the focus of the conference really is 
different on Tuesday - it is a day when we try to attract customers and 
sponsors, primarily in business and local government.
In fact my main interest is usability and productivity of the desktop
but I don't find the talk or workshop most apropiate to talk about that.
(I'm not an expert either but a really interested user)
There are several sessions that you might be interested in - Anna Dirks 
and Peter Goodall from Novell are going to talk about their usability 
work on the Ximian desktop, from the point of view of a windows 
migration. There will be a GNOME 3 planning session (codename Topaz), 
which will focus a lot on the user experience in GNOME, and how to make 
it better. And finally, there are 2 sets of freeform sessions, which 
will certainly include a session on usability on the desktop, as part 
of the desktop applications sessions.
Gargantuan Tickling Killer Monkeys (what?)
GTK# and Mono tutorial.

Remotely Useful? (what?)
A GNOME remote desktop application.
Maybe the names of these talks should be changed as I'm probably not 
the
only one confused about these names.
I agree - the titles were cleared up by the abstracts, and right now 
the abstracts aren't online. Perhaps we should do that...
Cheers,
Dave.
