Re: need help with OSCON track.



Hi Sri,

Have you read this?

That page is Edd Dumbill's idea of things he thinks may be appropriate.

If you want to give a general style of tutorial about what bits make up
GNOME and how they fit together, please feel free to reuse (either
verbatim or in modified format) the slides I made for linux.conf.au
(http://www.gnome.org/~malcolm/lca-2004). The slides as they are on that
site comfortably filled a two and a half hour tutorial, which included
about twenty minutes of demonstrations of various things and a lot of
ongoing questions.


OSCON's deadline is today at midnight and I would like to have something 
at least a tutorial.  While I'm thinking about it, it would be nice if 
someone who has done this before could help me out with materials.

Secondly, I will probably be doing a booth at OSCON like I did last time.  
But hopefully a lot better organized. :-)

Somewhat related, I have been promised a write-up from the guys who did
the GNOME booth at Solutions Linux last week. Hopefully we can collect
together a few things like that to help ease the process of having
booths at conferences (although I realise you have done this sort of
thing before, Sri. My comment is more in the way of a general thing).

Anyways, any direction would be very helpful.  Thanks.


About OSCON:

O'Reilly Open Source Convention, July 26 - January 30.
http://www.oreilly.com/conferences

My main observation is that that is a very long conference. Will you be
in attendance for the entire five months? :-)

Cheers,
Malcolm
