[Rigf_program] Revised Program for Finalizing!

[Yoshihiro Obata]

Dear Izumi,

   I think we need to fix the timeslots.  We will soon issue flight 
tickets to some speakers sponsored by Google according to the current 
schedule, which does not cover all 3 days in some cases.

Sincerely,
Yoshihiro Obata
