I do not know of any concrete plans for the video post-processing. This,
I think, has not been optimal in previous years and should be improved.
I can probably help out too.

With more or less the same design as the poster. I asked the designer
about his opinion on the matter.

Well, we can start the change now where it is convenient. If it is too
much of a hassle in any particular case, I wouldn't mind keeping with

The public schedule columns show room names and not track names. Since
I wanted to profile the tracks (and not the rooms) I decided to make
them the same.

Noone is assigned to that. Please take charge of the booklet :-)
