Ccing Jérémy Lecour from Evolix who's working hard on making the mini-conf happen.
For brevity's sake, here's the TL;DR: 1. If possible, we would like to have an URL to a machine-readable version of the schedule so that our reviewing system can be auto-updated 2. Individual talks currently don't have an explicit start and end times. Our reviewing system needs that.
