I had promised to develop some kind of outline that people might use for preparing short presentations, which I had envisioned as taking about 15-minutes.
For this purpose I have prepared something a bit more than an outline for consideration by those reading the steering committee list. Here is the not-so-brief page: http://www.kernel-panic.org/Members/jgsack/pages/TarballsXH2/ Some questions: --------------- 1. Does this seem like a 15-minute presentation 2. Does this seem of interest and value to relative beginners The intention is to be narrowly focused and realistic but simple, with the hope that beginners can both grasp and appreciate the examples. 2a. Is the scope too narrow to be interesting 2b. Is the detail adequate to be useful 3. Is is worth further condensing into more of an outline-form 4. Could someone other than the author deliver this as a short presentation? How about if it were further condensed? 5. If this is the right approach, what is a good way to refer to it? My "Express Howto" is intended to convey the idea of brevity but nevertheless useful (realistic), but there's probably other names (well-) worth considering: BlitzHowto, Faqlet, ... 6. Do you think documents like this could become pages in a larger (maybe wiki) reference resource? Presumeably augmented somehow with structure, indices, Q&A, more detailed explanatory text, more detailed coverage links, etc. 7. Could the concept work for (giving an intro to) advanced topics? What else? 8. Who would offer to contribute: 8a. similar pages8 8b. suggested topics that fit this mold (or whatever it morphs into) ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
