Ottawa Linux Symposium 2007 Schedule

Linux Symposium Logo © 2007 Linux Symposium Inc.
Posted on 2007-06-14, last modified 2007-06-24.

OLS is just days away, and once again the schedule is hard to read and even harder to print.

Here is my attempt at re-formatting the schedule to make it easier to use. Please note this is not the official schedule. You can find the official OLS schedule here.
