Once topic allocation is streamlined, pls outline timeline and chronology for the topics in a logical fashion.
Well, I suppose the installation part might take a lot of time, from past experience. We need to allocate 45mins somewhere for lunch and another 15mins for tea later in the day. (Which reminds me, I have to go check out the standard options that DEP uses for this ...) So once the speakers finalise their content, or in fact while they are doing that, we can figure out the timeline.
In the pamphlate you have said some material will be provided. Do you have that meterial ready? Or we have to prepare it? If it's ready material, can you put it on the web so we can align our speachs to that.
Errr ... the course material is whatever you guys would like to be in the hands of the participants when you speak. It could be copies of the slides that you present on the screen simultaneously, or slides covering background material to refer to, while you show run-time demo, something like that.
We have some Milan v 0.5 CDs ready with us. These are bootable CDs, built on Morphix and contains most of the general softwares and it has Hindi interface as well.
If CEP is willing to buy the same at cost from us, pls get in touch with me or Venky. This will be nice oppertunity for pushing IndLinux.
That would be swell. CEP wouldn't be buying, the CD costs will be included in the workshop expenses to be recovered from the registration fees.
BTW, how many CDs are required?
That we can only figure out after registration starts. Just to throw some figures, since we are assured of a major turn out considering popularity of the topic and low cost of the seminar, I think it should not be a problem to fill out the 200 capacity of our Seminar Hall. DEP guys are keeping their fingers crossed about getting similar turn outs at the remote centers, but the fact is that nobody knows!
BTW members, please do forward the URL to the brochure, or hand out printed copies to anyone interested.
Sameer.
