BOSC 2014 Schedule
This year we have allocated all the talks an equal slot, 15 minutes plus 3 minutes for questions (making 18 minutes), except for the project update session where this is reduced to 10 minutes plus 2 minutes for questions (making 12 minutes in all). Lightning talks are 5 minutes only (no questions), and are intended for a brief introduction with the expectation that interested people will talk in the evening or next day.
Pre-BOSC Codefest: July 9-10, 2014
See Codefest 2014 for details.
