I fully and 100% support not putting the schedule in the book.  We use
sched.org and have conference wifi.  We don't need no stinkin' papers :P
(We do need wall schedules, stinkin' or otherwise.)

I believe we could eliminate a lot of the pages in the book and possibly
just do a conference pamphlet.  This would save trees and money.
