Agenda Heat Map

Posted by Ismael Chang Ghalimi Sep 3, 2008

Now that all the pieces of the puzzle are starting to connect with each other, some pretty cool mashups can be built. Here is one courtesy of Eric Ly from Presdo, based on an idea originally suggested by one of our friends at Google: an Agenda Heat Map, showing the popularity of sessions based on actual user scheduling. As attendees to the Office 2.0 Conference are adding sessions to their Google Calendar, Presdo is fetching the data (anonymously), and feeding it to a Google Spreadsheet, which cells' colors are based on the number of attendees scheduled to attend any particular session. It's interesting to see that out of 400 attendees who received an account on Google Apps on Monday, more than 50 were already using it by Tuesday. We wil publish a revised heat map later tonight. In the meantime, sessions having less than 10 scheduled attendees should really start pimping themselves through blog posts on the conference's website...

It looks like some attendees are finding it difficult to setup their HP 2133 Mini-Note. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised. The device is running Linux, and Linux on the desktop is not really ready for prime time. Also, its default configuration is not fully optimized. The screen resolution is set too low for example. It should be WXGA, at 1280 x 800. If you want help getting your device up and running and connected to the amazing Wi-Fi network deployed for the conference by Swisscom and Covad, join us in the Impressionist at 5PM tonight (Wednesday). I'll give you step by step instructions, unless an expert wants to step up. In which case, I'll continue answering emails and trying to get the agenda heat map uploaded to the site. 2133 expert, anyone?

As I am preparing for tomorrow's chat with David Allen, I am finding it difficult to prioritize all the questions I would like to ask him. How did he come up with the GTD? What kind of tools is he using? Could he move to a pure Office 2.0 setup? But I'm sure you have many questions for him as well, so please ask them as comments to this post. And make sure to add this session to your calendar — it's a plenary one, so you won't miss anything.
