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.
