In the interest of trying to make room for the unexpected around the Nov 17 G1G1 launch, I've tried to compress most of the technical talks into a single day, Wed. Nov 19. There will be plenty of flex time during the rest of the week to get to topics not covered, delve in depth, or try to hack out some prototypes.
I've identified four "big issues" in the list of http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugarcamp#Proposals -- ideas that have more than one speaker willing to address them -- and assigned them an hour each. The rest of the time I've grouped by person, assigning each person 30 minutes (I recommend 20 for talk, 10 for questions). I will leave it to the individual person whether they will chose to present a single one of their proposals in that time, compress all of their proposals to fit, or deed some of their time to some other proposal quite deserves more. I encourage those who will be present to lobby your favorite speakers to ensure that your favorite topic will be addressed. Refer to [[Sugarcamp#Proposals]] for details on the talks each person listed below has proposed. Wednesday: 10am: Desktop "legacy" compatibility. (Marco, C. Scott, possibly Saymindu by phone?) 11am: Eben Eliason / Ed Cherlin. 12pm - 2pm: lunch. 2pm: Community. (Mel Chua / Greg DeK) 3pm: Martin Langhoff / Chris Ball 4pm: Internationalization (Marco, C. Scott, possibly Saymindu by phone and/or cjb on language learning) 5pm - 7pm: dinner. 7pm: Marco / Michael Stone 8pm: C. Scott / Tomeu 9pm: Infrastructure (Bernie, Michael Stone) There are so many excellent talks that were proposed. I hope that this schedule, although compressed, encourages us to take the time to make our talks short ("Je n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.", Blaise Pascal, http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pascal). There is time during the rest of the week to expand on our points and give the talks that don't fit on Wednesday. (Also, I hope we use the lunch and dinner time for good networking, discussion, and beer.) Does this schedule seem reasonable to others? (Esp. those I've pencilled in for talks?) If you are going to be in town, made a 9.1 proposal (or forgot to), and aren't listed above, let me know. --scott ps. I apologize for the late planning on this; things have been pretty crazy. -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
