My (Current) Plans for Agile 2009

While I work on some other posting ideas, I thought I'd provide my current plan for sessions I expect to attend at Agile 2009 in a few weeks.

In general, I have chosen to attend sessions to hear people I have not heard before (with a few exceptions: Cockburn, Patton, Jeffries & Hendrickson, Sutherland, Pixton, Hussman, Marick). And, as is clear from the chart below, I have some conflicts, especially the first day. Not sure what last minute conditions may drive my final decision. (Sometimes, I'll admit, I make such choices based on the least travel distance between time slots.)
