Hadrian,

I'm going to be on vacation next week. On the other hand, the time
slot is on Thursday AM. So I'd propose tuning this up over beer on
site.

I gave it in Vancouver and wherever was before that (Atlanta?). Nour, gave
it in Sinsheim with his own twist. One thing that has remained constant
throughout has been the interactive nature of the session, i.e. spend ten
minutes setting the scene then guide the audience through the topic by
inviting questions and comments from the floor (I really don't like
"lecture" style presentations). Delivering a session like this requires a
certain amount of "on the feet" thinking, as well as a few stooges in he
audience to help keep it lively.

The min theme of the session, as I gave it, is captured in a blog post at

http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/apache-asserts/2012/05/apache-openoffice-can-i-depend-on-software-built-by-volunteers/index.htm


Totally agree with what Ross has mentioned. Having an interactive talk is
much more fun and more attractive to the attendees.

Ross, kindly, gave me a great chance to give this talk in Sienshein. The
only thing I added is to try to give a show case like scenario using the
attendees them selves. IIRC, Ross liked the idea but the case itself was
not a good example. He
mentioned some people made research in that area and they have a good case
using which the show can be better.

@Ross: I hope you still remember that :) as you promised to give me
links/pointers about that research

@Benson and @Hadrian: Good luck :)

Ross, Nour - any chance you could add your missing presentation slides to
svn so they appear where they're supposed to be? :)

Cheers
Nick
