Hey, I was watching the WTH05 schedule planning very carefully.
I was working on Defcon13's schedule at the time. Very well done!
Is Pentabarf free software?
This is a niche which has not yet been filled by
free software. Are you a pentabarf developer or user?
Pentabarf's XML export is probably the best candidate for ConMan
interoperability. ConMan has its own XML source format, and I'm
sure there's nothing between them a few hundred lines of Perl
can't bridge. The version of ConMan which uses this XML format
is still in development at the moment. I will get that working
soon, but I have other enhancements I'd like to get in there first.
Perhaps a good short-term solution would be to have an iCalendar client
for PalmOS. Something to subscribe to web-based calendars.
WTH05 and Defcon13 both had dynamic iCalendar files. PalmOS devices
are pretty much online via TCP/IP these days. If they could manage
web-based iCalendar files (why the hell don't they?) that would get
us part of the way there.

Looks very full-featured. Where can I _download_ it?

Nice to hear from you, Rolf.
