I agree that if we have to choose, a room with some good presentations for the general public seem to be more effective than the stand in terms of marketing. :-) When I say "presentations for the general public" I was thinking of topics such as, for example, * Objective-C/GNUstep on Microsoft Windows. How you use it, what works, what doesn't, with demo. * a tutorial on how to build your first Objective-C programs (probably the most frequently asked FAQ on the mailing list) * Maybe a general introduction to Objective-C ? We can make it reasonably general so it applies to both GNUstep, Apple and iPhone - thus attracting a bigger crowd. * Maybe some tutorials/presentations on some "advanced" topics in Objective-C ? (eg, discussing some of many typical Objective-C/ OpenStep design patterns) Something that might be useful to iPhone/Apple developers as well as GNUstep ones - so they come to the presentation, and then we'll do all the explanations and examples in GNUstep and they'll incidentally discover that there are free/GNU Objective-C frameworks, and that they work great. :-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
