Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

The R7RS-Large is an extension to the R7RS designed to address the practical needs of mainstream software development. It is organized into three volumes: Foundations for non-portable modifications to the R7RS such as the syntax-case system, Batteries for libraries that can be built on top of the Foundations such as hash tables, and Environments for implementation-specific libraries such as I/O facilities. The Working Group has made great progress in specifying the R7RS-Large over the past year. I will present the new features we have added, a roadmap for features we plan to add, and challenges along the way that we will have to solve.
