WisSched on iPad

[bcholmes]

Yesterday, I submitted a new binary to Apple: there’s no WisCon 37 content, but I don’t want to wait until the last minute to get functional changes in place. There are a few new features, but the primary changes relate to iPhone 5 support and iPad functionality.

Here’s my favourite new piece, specific to the iPad:

The layout is dynamic: that is to say, that given all the panels, rooms, and timeslots, I’m able to lay it all out programmatically. There are tricky elements: multiple rooms that act as one room for certain events. The Gathering is sometimes considered to be multiple events that all take place in one room. And I want to do a second pass on my algorithm for time labels (what do you show when multiple time slots overlap?) But I’m mostly happy with the final result.

It’ll probably take 2 weeks before Apple approves it.

Wow, that looks fabulous.

Is this a piece of software that could perhaps be modified for FOGcon?

[bcholmes]

Yeah, I sent some emails to some email contact addresses offering to do this for FOGCon, but I didn't hear anything. Maybe the email got caught in the Cosmic Spam Filter...

If you have any contacts, I'm happy to try to make this work.

Thank you soooo much!

I'm in charge of the website and by extension any mobile apps. If you tried to get in touch with programming they have been swamped with adapting the Wiscon database to our use.

You can email me at website@fogcon.org.

I fired an email your way this morning; let me know if it fails to arrive.

That looks very sharpish.
