#3the user/pass nag thing is kind of annoying but this is a very cool implementation of a quick and simple scheduling app.
in fact, use the berkeley schedule for the data backend and i would switch to using this over the other hacked together schedulers available.

#5I know a few people from Phoenix who will be presenting at SXSW. I searched on some names, and got no hits.
Is this handling just a sub-set of all of SXSW? Are names not searchable?
Oh, and is there source code one can glom? :)
It looks really sweet.

I just disabled the alert that said "Please enter a username and password above first" when you clicked on an event without logging in. Now it just shows the event details.
The signup process is extremely simple. Type in a username, enter a password and it creates an account. I'm the first one to complain about needless signups but to make your own schedule and have it printable in a decent format, signing up is pretty much the best solution.
I just setup iCal export for your selected sched.org events. My username is 'chirag' so my schedule will be http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag and iCal URL will be http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag.ical
If you use Google Calendar, you can import this directly.
This is a very specific tool with a narrow market/target-audience and not meant to replace anything general like Google Calendar or Eventful.

I just added panelist info to the db. The search currently only searches the event name and venues. I'll see if I can make it search panelists and the detailed description without putting too much pressure on the tiny server.

You can now search for specific panelists.

As for usage, what I meant was at Berkeley a student made a homebrew app to help organize class schedules.
This is the database: http://schedule.berkeley.edu/
This is the app: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~amanb/makeSched/
Your app is the perfect interface if it can hook into the Berkeley schedule database.
