Printing the speaker schedule?

[big chopper]

Has anyone figured out a way to print the speaker schedule? I know it's so 20th century, but it would be a very nice planning tool.

Have you tried within the last week or two? I had a really hard time printing the schedule initially (as in, 17 pages of mostly white paper) but I think they updated it and now it prints out just fine for me.

I did add some print styles a few weeks ago. It's quite a bit longer than it was before I started adding events/contests. Check it out! The speaking schedule will also be printed in the program.

I know that it's a bit of work, but next year it would be VERY nice if there was a version of the schedule that is formatted for printing. Twenty-five pages of mostly white space isn't very user friendly.

The online version, however, looks great, even on a mobile device.

I halved the number of pages it takes to print by hacking up the print stylesheet: http://scott.wolchok.org/dc-17-sched-print.css You can cut about 4 more pages by manually commenting out the events sections, or extending this to somehow eliminate the whitespace there.

Directions for use:
1) Save the schedule web page as "Web Page, Complete".
2) in the created dc-17-schedule_files directory, replace dc-17-sched-print.css with my version.
3) Print Preview to see if you're happier. Optionally, comment out either the events or talks sections of the web page because you only care about the talks or events.
4) Print away!

I will keep that in mind, I guess that was the advantage of using tables for the schedule.

If you have access to includes, you could have two references to the same content, with one being a "printable" version and the other with all of the links to all of the other pages.

Then you have the dynamic re-sizing for small and large resolution, and printing.

It would only make sense with some sort of include, or reference to the same data, or else you would end up maintaining 2 copies of the same content just for formatting.

Yes, go to http://defcon.starthan.net where i created a Google calendar with the speaker schedule broken out by track and is fully printable. If any of the speaking schedule has changed, let me know so I can update it.

Dude! Awesome, I was about to ask for a delimited list so that I could script some iCal output. Thanks!

This DEFCON schedule application for the iPhone is awesome.
