The conference is scheduled from 8:30 AM until 5:30 PM both days... Our objective for the Plugfest is to improve the quality of Mt. Rainier capable hardware and applications, and the interchange of the media written by these on the Windows platform. This event is intended forhardware developers and software engineers who are responsible for writing the firmware and drivers for these devices. The Plugfest isintended to be a workshop to test interchange and interoperability.
