When I said have a focus suitable for the school audience I meant things like "Getting In To the Future of Software" or "Rebelling With the Best", as opposed to a dry sounding topic like "Free and Open Source Software" even though they are the same thing. The presentations could also have more of a "do it like this" focus where there are practical presentations on things like photo manipulation or working with people using other OS's. We would have to start with one but I would hope could expand to more than one topic/presentation. I would also want it to be a practiced and smooth presentation akin to those done professionally. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
