Conferences always do that - I guess they have this idea that we don't *really* hate each other... I wonder what makes them think that.

Definitely a nice idea. > I hope we'll be able to come up with something similar for future > conferences.. I'd suggest (as I usually do) concentrating on applications - not what is strictly GNOME, but what the user can do easily using GNOME. On that note, here's a selection of ideas for a 10 minute slideshow (20s per slide, 30 slides): * Organise your photos - Present F-Spot (although it does look like Shotwell is fast gaining in stature & may become the de factor GNOME photo management app within a year or so) - logo & default application screenshot - Easy import: "You have plugged in a device with photos" dialog - Tags & search: Using metadata to get relevant content quickly - Easy export: Export to Flickr, Picasa, web page, etc... * Multimedia - Playing video with Totem - Handles subtitles, DVD chapters, etc - Telestrator support with Gromit (I love this, and it makes for cool screenshots) - Manage music collection with Rhythmbox (or Banshee - not going to get into a religious war) - Get content from online stores (Amazon, last.fm, Jamendo, Magnatunes) - Follow your favourite podcasts - Easy ripping & import of CDs - Easy burning of audio CDs * Media creation - Pitivi for creating video montages & slideshows - Cheese, GNOME Audio Recorder, for recording video, audio - Record my desktop for screencasts maybe? * Games? - Slides of common games * Graphics - Inkscape - The GIMP (a couple of slides doing some photo manipulation) - Agave (Plan colour schemes) * Internet - Instant messaging: Pidgin? Empathy? - Web: Do we want to show Epiphany? Or advertise that Firefox integrates well with GNOME? - Email: Same thing: Evolution or Thunderbird? * Programming - Text editor - Eclipse - Glade - Devhelp What other stuff could we advertise? Hardware integration? Tomboy? Accessibility (how to show this on slides, though?)? Anything else?
