Please fix typos in venue names

[Rafal Luzynski]

Hello,

Please fix the typos in the venue names at http://flock2016.sched.org/ :

"Picaso" => "Picasso"
"Rembrant" => "Rembrandt"

grep to find all occurrences. Also please do the same fix on other
servers if the same typos occur.

Thanks,

Rafal

Done.  Thank you for pointing this out.

I don't believe any other sites use the room names.

Thank you for fixing this immediately, Josh. However, today we have
spotted another problem. One of the venues is labeled "openQA".
Clicking it deeper reveals some substrings "Rembrandt" so one can
guess this is what you meant. However, this should be fixed because
it leads to confusion. Also we must be sure rather than guessing.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Rafal

We are sure.

Suse is a sponsor of the Flock conference at the level that allows
them to name a room.  They chose to name the room "openQA", hence
Rembrandt was renamed to openQA in accordance with our sponsorship
agreements.

I can remove the Rembrandt substring if you'd like, but the room will
need to have a sign calling it the openQA room.

Ah, that explains. I did not know and neither did the hotel staff.
I guess it's OK to pass this information to them so I will do it.

This may be a good idea due to the respect to the sponsor.
Otherwise the issue is explained.

Regarding our confusion during today's phone talk, please
tell the hotel staff about the progress of the conference planning
directly or tell me. They wanted to know the schedule of the
conference so I directed them to the schedule page. (This is
a message to whole Flock planning staff, not just you, Josh.)

Regards,

Rafal

The schedule is what we have in terms of how the venues will be used
for talks and workshops.  However, we have two other rooms reserved
that aren't listed on the schedule because they'll be used for a staff
room and a quiet space.

I'm not sure why the hotel wants the schedule.  As I understood
things, our contract has the rooms reserved for all the days.  Brian
is our contact point with the hotel.

There are 2 reasons:

1. They want to know when the lunch is scheduled.
2. They want to start preparing the rooms (tables, chairs, displays)
   already. As I mentioned in another post, they must be ready
   before 22 July.

OK, got it.
