IF demos/presentations

Hans,

I'm not sure I understand the difference between a demonstration and a
presentation. For the sake of starting the discussion, let me provide a
(seed) description and maybe folks will join in to refine it.

Presentation: Normally one on many (one instructor and many students)
normally taking place in a room dedicated (for the time) to the presentation
and with such things as overhead (or electronic projectors - don't know what
to call them) projectors etc..

Demonstration: Normally one (instructor/demonstrator) to few (as many as can
look over the demonstrators shoulder) students and normally presented in a
room with much other activities going on.

With the idea that these are different approaches to conveying knowledge, I
will (till told otherwise) show a Presentation section and a demonstration
section in the InstallFest Status Report.

George

moin, moin,

hmm, the sig that popped up for this is most appropriate :).

Here's a list of some demos/presentations we might want to have for the
InstallFest ( in no particular order ):

OpenOffice.org: demo compatability stuff, demo on GNU/Linux and m$
the GIMP: demo on GNU/Linux and m$
desktop: KDE and/or GNOME
GNUe: we've got 20 experts now :)
useful things:
    ripping CDs, photo albums, 'my <datatype>', viewing faxes
What is Free Software?
licensing
Free Software development in .az.us:
    GNUe, KDE, GNOME, familiar, kernel, Sodi-Podi, GDB, ...
Got it installed, now what?:
    a guide to putting the box on the air at home ( cable/dsl/phone
setup, etc. )
    where to find assistance
    how to find out what's installed
LTSP
Blender
Knoppix for Kids/debian jr.
Knoppix
firewalling
security updates: should also be covered in the 'where now?' presentation

Please send in suggestions and/or volunteer to do these demos/presentations.

Note: all m$ installs must have appropriate licenses for the prop software.
Actually, all proprietary software we use at the InstallFest must be
appropriately licensed.

I think we should have a demo schedule, with 10 or 15 minute demos followed
by time for the viewers to play and ask questions. LTSP should have
whatever's necessary for people to play with demod stuff.

ciao,
