I'm not sure what specifically hurt our proposal last year. I know our proposal contained little in the way of curriculum and course notes. For the s2008 proposal, we'll have OSG books as course material, plus Bob and I will probably contribute some of the curriculum we've developed for our courses.
For the s2008 proposal, we should note the standing-room-only crowd at the s2007 BOF, and the fact that BOF time restrictions prevented us from reaching the newbie crowd. This might help make the case for a course. There are obviously many people out there who want to learn more about OSG. If our proposal gets shot down again, another possibility is to tack an OSG course onto the start or end of SIGGRAPH, much like Bob and I are doing with the Terrain Summit 07 conference this September. This has the downside of extending an already long week, and also doesn't benefit from advertisement on SIGGRAPH's courses Web site. -Paul _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
