Conference proceedings

The following is a combination of direct laptop-notetaking during conference talks or tutorials, June 12.-16., and material provided by task groups when needed. It should cover most of the conference proceedings, although no responsability is taken for errors in talks or missing material (perhaps due to bathroom breaks, eh?...)

Rather loosely structured really. Some of the participants left on Thursday, including Richard Durbin and Lincoln Stein (I think). So, it was a matter of doing some doc-writing or some more extra coding or whatever.

There wasn't really a formal end of the conference I think...I left myself for downtown Vancouver just after noon, to get to my new accommodations in time.
