| Separate Room for Presentations
|   Jim Farli suggested that if we can have a separate
| room or two for presentations, it will be a big
| bonus. This cuts down on the noise, and keeps the
| audience focused. If there are rooms attached to
| the student union, I think it would be worthwhile
| to get three or four if we can. With OSEF bringing
| "projectors" (not sure how plural that was intended
| to be), and Sun presenting (I assume they will bring
| their own gear), it is conceivable that we could
| have more than one presentation occuring simultaneously.

If needed we can bring multiple projectors, but I would have
reservations about running 2 presentations at a time if there
are less than 500 people at IF2.

| Video Record Presentations
|   Jim Farli had the fantastic idea of video recording
| the presentations. I can't express enough praise
| for this idea. We should definately do this, and we
| should definately put the videos into digital format
| for distribution.
|
|   I'm going to start a separate thread on this issue,
| but a quick note is that I have a machine (my last
| Windows machine) which has an ATI All In Wonder video
| capture card. I've got a spare 60 gig hard drive. If
| someone can help me get this thing converted to Linux,
| I'd love to use it toward this project (though I don't
| know if it will help).

|   Ideally, if anyone has a digital camcorder, we would
| like to borrow it. Along the lines of having multiple
| presentation rooms, it would be nice to have more than
| one video recorder.

We (OSEF/GOVIA) can handle recording the presentations. we
have at our disposal severl DVCams and a few MiniCams for=20
this sort of thing. We can also bring a remote lapel=20
microphone if the presentation room large.

|   This also highlights a need for copylefting and
| standards. I think we should put together preferred
| standards for presenters:
|   Copyleft Everything
|   OpenOffice Impress (for Windows compatibility)
|   ...

Speaking of.... I would like to ask if it would be possible=20
to put the presentations into GOVIA? We have a license that=20
is designed to be copyleft compatible, but won't be sure=20
until the FSF approves it. The license can be viewed at:
http://govia.osef.org/index.html?u=3DLicense

For material such as slides for presentation, GOVIA uses=20
GNU's FDL.=20

My mind is like a rusty trap, you never know when, or if, it is
going to go off, and someone is likely to get tetanus when it does.
