Revision as of 09:18, 3 April 2008

We had a brief "state of the OLPC" mini-conference at OLPC headquarters on April 4-5, 2008.

Schedule

Thursday (April 3)

  • 12:30pm: Ben Schwartz, "Frameworks for collaboration"
  • 1:30pm: Richard Smith, "Suspend/Resume"
  • 2:30pm: Chris Ball, "Power Management"
  • 3:30pm: break
  • 4:00pm: Eben Eliason, "New Activity management design" (Lightning talk)
  • 4:30pm: Eben Eliason, "Automatic transfer/update of activities" (Lightning talk)
  • 5:00pm: Edward Cherlin, "State of i18n" (Lightning talk)

Friday (April 4)

  • 12:30pm: C. Scott Ananian, "olpcfs"
  • 1:30pm: April Fool, "Build Process" (I'll restate proposal made on devel@ if no one else volunteers)
  • 2:30pm: Dafydd Harries, "Communications outlooks"
  • 3:30pm: break
  • 4:00pm: Martin Langhoff, "State of the schoolserver" (Lightning talk)
  • 4:30pm: Eben Eliason, "Toolbars & (no) tabs" (Lightning talk)
  • 5:00pm: Michael Stone, "State of security" (Lightning talk)

Additional proposed talks

The following talks were proposed, but the proposer is 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)
  • (Better integration with legacy) "Desktop Applications" (Marco Gritti)
  • "Performance, Performance, Performance" (Mitch Bradley)

If anyone planning to be physically present wants to volunteer to prepare a brief (say 5-10 bullet points) outline of "current status" and "future directions" on these topics, we can schedule them in as Lightning talks. Alternatively, if the original proposers want to lead the discussion via teleconference, we can do that, too -- we should probably keep them in the "lightning talk" category because teleconferences tend to be very difficult for people to follow.

Presenter guidelines

For the 1-hour long talk categories, the goal should be ~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, let's aim at ~10 minutes of presentation, the same ~25 minutes of discussion, and 5 minutes of R&R.
