===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) |
|||
* (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 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. |
