It is still very drafty; in particular, just because a topic has been listed, it may turn out that the topic has been resolved off-line, or otherwise overtaken by events, in which case we will drop it. In addition, we're also in the process of sending queries to the proposed topic leaders to see if they are willing to kick off the discussion, and so that is subject to change as well. I'd appreciate comments about any topics that you think might be missing and that would be worth our discussing. In addition, if you have strong opinions moving a topic from the technical session day to the core day or vice versa, please make the case for the change. There will be some TBD slots which can be scheduled at the last minute, but I'd like to get at least one full track of the technical sessions and most of the core sessions scheduled.
