ConfClerk for Linux

ConfClerk is an application which makes conference schedules available offline

Overview

ConfClerk is a calendar and office app made for Linux users who want to view conference schedules offline.

It works well on mobile devices like the Nokia N810 and N900, but it can also run on any system with Qt installed.

This app is good for users who need a safe and reliable way to check event details without an internet connection.

ConfClerk lets you see conference schedules in different views.

You can search for events by speaker, speech topic, or location, making it easier to find what interests you.

The app also lets you pick your favorite sessions and build your own custom schedule.

This feature helps you stay organized during busy conferences.

The app imports schedules only in XML format.

These schedules must come from specific conference management tools called frab or pentabarf.

Many big events like FOSDEM, DebConf, Grazer Linuxtage, CCC congresses, and FrOSCon use these systems, so ConfClerk can handle their schedules without any issue.

One thing to keep in mind is that ConfClerk mainly targets older mobile devices, so it might not be as user-friendly on other platforms.

Still, if you run Linux and need offline access to conference plans from supported systems, ConfClerk is a useful tool to consider.

It combines safe offline access with flexible viewing and searching options for conference schedules.
