Here is a sort of request for topics, along the lines that someone else, and not myself, should talk about something: 1) Take the code for a kernel subsystem/module/concept/block and discuss it, both from the macro point of view as well as from the micro point of view. When hardware is involved, show the code for the interface and discuss it and don't forget to speak about the standards for the interfaces involved. 2) Likewise, for other software components: X server, desktop environment, name service software, mail software, whatever. I guess the most important aspect here is the ability to present the micro as well as the macro. That is, being fluent in the code itself as well as the broad concept and the way to configure the relevant piece of software. Something which is probably easier to find lecturers for in a short time is to present and discuss major concepts and building blocks for major pieces of software: kernel, X server, mail daemons, standards for hardware interfaces. That is, concentrate in the macro. 3) A Tutorial on programming languages: 1 hour on C, another on python, Yet another on Perl, C++, bash, Ruby, lisp ... One might also show advanced topics like C89 vs C99, Perl 5.8 vs Perl 6, the standard for C++ (there is one, right?). 4) Fonts issues. Creating fonts, using fonts, anything that is related to fonts. 5) Wine. Turn it upside down: concepts, code, why I can't figure out if it an emulator or not. Whatever you choose from, try and concentrate on it and turn it upside down. Don't do a 15 minutes Perl talk, 15 minutes fonts issues and 15 minutes on configuring a mail server. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
