Schedule changes

Version 0.22 March 20, 2026

Day 2 Schedule Updates (to accommodate logistical conflicts):
- Main Hall 14:45 - Replaced with "Let's live code a game with Arcade..." by MrValdez (instead of Open Networking)
- Pardo Hall 15:30 - Replaced with "Database Sorcery 101..." by Christian Mark Francisco (instead of MrValdez's talk)
- Pardo Hall 16:15 - Replaced with Open Networking

We had to move some sessions, so if you were planning on seeing them, check their new dates or locations:

“Database Sorcery 101: Ditch the Ancient SQL Scrolls for SQLModel” by Christian Mark P. Francisco (March 22, 2026, 4:15 p.m. → March 22, 2026, 3:30 p.m.)

Version 0.21 March 20, 2026

Update: Substituted "Open Networking" in place of Drishti Jain's talk of "Python for Audio Analysis: Seeing Sound".

This is due to logistical conflicts. This time may be used for intentionally connecting with the Python community.

Sadly, we had to cancel a session: “Python for Audio Analysis: Seeing Sound” by Drishti Jain
