Revision as of 01:28, 17 April 2008

We had a "state of the OLPC" mini-conference at OLPC headquarters on April 3-4, 2008.

Sorry, we couldn't do real-time streaming; we got most of the talks on DV, and I'm encoding and posting them as I find time.

Schedule

Thursday (April 3)

Friday (April 4)

Additional proposed talks

The following talks were proposed, but the proposer was unable to be present.

  • "Removable Activities" (Mikus Grinbergs) (related to datastore work and activity management)
  • "Sugar Performance" (Tomeu Vizoso)
  • "Hand-key scrolling" (Tomeu Vizoso) (also, "magnifying class" and "bulletin-board" keys)
    • This one Eben ended up presenting for us.
  • (Better integration with legacy) "Desktop Applications" (Marco Gritti)
  • "Performance, Performance, Performance" (Mitch Bradley)


Presenter guidelines

For the 1-hour long talk categories, the goal was ~25 minutes of "presentation" and ~25 minutes of "discussion" (interleaved if you like), with a 5 minute leg-stretch break between talks. For the lightning talks, we aimed at ~10 minutes of presentation, the same ~25 minutes of discussion, and 5 minutes of R&R.
