That'd surely justify the title ;-) If you're open to that suggestion and your presentation has slides, can you publish the template? I'll add a slide or half a slide on [scxml]. > Any views on whether I should abandon the examples and just focus on > descriptions? What would you want from a 15 minute talk on commons? What > do you think our users would want? > <snip/> As an audience member in a 15 minute talk, I'd want: * High level slides, minimal code. For libraries such as [lang], [collections], even [io] any code in the form of animations that morphs before (17 tedious lines of code without Commons Foo) into after (5 elegant lines with Commons Foo). * Each item broken into two, identifying _what_ is new and _why_ the new thing is A Good Thing * A URL to go to for examples at the end (on the "thank you" slide), big font, easy to remember URL * Maybe some elaborate code examples in backup slides, if there are probing questions Have a nice Javapolis. -Rahul > > Stephen > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
