For DC28, "official talks" were not scheduled -- they were suddenly released in a single large batch, and users could go watch them in any of three different ways, at any time before their corresponding "live-streamed" Q&A session. At first, only the Q&A sessions were listed on the schedule, and the talks themselves weren't present; attendees implied that they thought that the Q&A session would be a viewing of the pre-recorded content followed by Q&A. I wound up selecting an arbitrary time on the schedule for all of those pre-recorded talks to appear, separate from their Q&A session. This caused some confusion for attendees and goons alike, hopefully less than otherwise.
We must re-think how this is handled. I suspect that deep-linking support (so that one event can link to a different event) would be of assistance here.
