Three people indicated an interest in helping. Matt Alexander Ted Gould William Lindley Presentation dates: Monday PM, 02 December 2002 Friday AM, 06 December 2002 Note: The Monday date collides with the December PLUG-developers meeting. Times have yet to be decided, but I will get that information soon. A couple of weeks ago this class had Ken Colburn (DataDoctors.com) as a guess presenter and he did an excellent job. His primary advice: Learn about the nuts and bolts of computing, but also learn how to communicate effectively. Colburn's presentation was video taped by SCC and I suspect the Instructor will want to do the same for the Linux presentation. If presenters do not want to be video taped, then we can turn the camera off. The following potential presentation format assumes one hour (60 minutes) of presentation time. 15 minutes -- Brief overview of what is Unix. -- Brief history of Unix/BSD/Linux. -- Brief overview of what is Linux/GNU/FSF/Open Source. 25 minutes -- Linux demonstration using Knoppix that includes a command-line demonstration. 20 minutes -- Panel discussion that includes a question/answer session. I am thinking of bringing my Introductory Java class (all five or six of them) to the Monday, 02 December 2002, presentation. Thanks for your time and efforts.
