My recommendation is that Lernid never shows sessions that happened in
the past - it really doesn't serve much of a purpose. This way you would
never see the Open Week sessions for the previous event, and by and
large we are never that prepared for future events, and in any case it
would still be fine to see up-coming events months away.

Ahhh, cool!

Fine with me.
