You can download the full program with abstracts (PDF), however this wiki page is considered the definitive schedule and will be updated with any last minute changes.

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.
