I just disabled the alert that said "Please enter a username and password above first" when you clicked on an event without logging in. Now it just shows the event details.

The signup process is extremely simple. Type in a username, enter a password and it creates an account. I'm the first one to complain about needless signups but to make your own schedule and have it printable in a decent format, signing up is pretty much the best solution.

I just setup iCal export for your selected sched.org events. My username is 'chirag' so my schedule will be http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag and iCal URL will be http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag.ical

If you use Google Calendar, you can import this directly.

This is a very specific tool with a narrow market/target-audience and not meant to replace anything general like Google Calendar or Eventful.

As for usage, what I meant was at Berkeley a student made a homebrew app to help organize class schedules.

This is the database: http://schedule.berkeley.edu/

This is the app: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~amanb/makeSched/

Your app is the perfect interface if it can hook into the Berkeley schedule database.
