What’s new this year? Well we didn’t spend the long Swedish winter hibernating!

First of all we designed a wonder-dunderhoney website. Our goal was to have a website that works as well on mobiles as on desktops, so that we can skip native apps during the conference. We started by designing the mobile version of the site and from the mobile version we went on to the desktop version. It works perfectly! It took us time to design and develop it, so I’m afraid that we didn’t test it very much yet. But we will test it now, at least. If you see something strange, then please tell us. Maybe we should launch a summer contest: Find 5 bugs and win an Øredev tee-shirt! 10 tee-shirts to win. Send your list of bugs to info@oredev.org

Secondly, we wanted you to be able to create your personal schedule and save it on our servers so that you can pick it up on all your devices. And we wanted you to be able to do it without having to use a username and a password. BINGO! Now, you can create your schedule and save it on a URL you pick yourself. Of course, we are counting on your creativity to give your schedules interesting names. Just so you know, oredev.org/2013/openschedule/emily is already taken.

Using your URL, you can also share your schedule with your friends/colleagues/buddies or pets. We will also send you an ugly URL which will allow you to edit your schedule.

Then of course with such an inspiring theme as “The Arts” we have a zillion ideas about what we want you to experience when you are at the conference. A lot is still to be decided aand announced.
