change slot durations for the domain symposia

[codersquid]

fix time durations

Two of the minisymposia need to have shorter talks than others. So, we need to make the schedule grid more refined in just those columns, for just the afternoons. Specifically, the Viz session has 15 minute talks and the Astro symposium has 20 minute talks.

Here is an exciting update on my progress. I've finally posted to the symposion mailing list after spending a couple of days trying to get staggered times to render properly. Reply to the post on the list or here if you have any tips.

I'm having trouble getting a schedule with staggered talk times to render on the grid. I'd love some pointers. Here are the details.

I've got 3 rooms, and two of them have some staggered sessions in the afternoon. The grid renders okay except for one line where a table element hangs off in a 4th column.

Here's a gist with a script that loads up some csv files to create schedule objects. I've got the example csv files to show the offset problem.

I'm not sure I have all the right assumptions for what will be rendered on the grid -- I've not dived deeply in to the timetables module yet and have experimented with assumptions based on the objects I create.

I'm using this branch of my symposion fork https://github.com/scipy-conference/symposion/tree/slot_editable

It's fairly similar to the vanilla branch of symposion but has some things based of pyohio merged in along with a model change in SlotKinds so that we don't have to hardcode whether a slotkind is a presentation versus something where the grid will display a content override.

Hi Sheila,

W/o looking at the symposion code - I thought I’d pass on what I did last year.

I used css to create “columns" for the tracks/rooms. Then for each session I created a css “cell” defining the height by the time of the session (cell height = duration in seconds X multiplier).

Here is what it looked like

Not sure if that is useful or not…

Neat!

This should done now, with the #132 change. We just need to repopulate the slots with talks.

I'm going to write up a command to do that, but someone could also populate them by hand if they'd like.
