Re: Another opportunity to publicize GNUe

[Stanley A. Klein]

I'm local to DC.  I think Neil Tiffin is also.  When we were looking at the
previous event, Chuck Rouzer talked about possibly getting here.  Jason
Cater mentioned a travel window (that I don't recall exactly).  The folks
in New York have fairly easy travel also.

I have been thinking about the topics.  We only have about two weeks to put
our proposals in.  I think we should cover as many areas as possible,
because it increases our chances of getting some of them accepted.

The topics I have in mind include:

1.  A demo.  I think I can do it on my laptop using my "mutant install"
from tar.gz files.  Someone will need to prepare the demo itself.  All
authors don't need to be there (hint to Derek, James T., and others).

2.  I will propose a presentation on challenges and lessons learned in
developing a security framework for a multi-platform, multi-database
project with a wide range of possible users.

3.  I will probably propose a presentation on risk issues in the overall
business case for free/open source software.

4.  Dave Sugar could present on Bayonne and accessibility.

5.  It would be nice if Jason Cater could make a presentation on the
extensive (and probably in some areas innovative) use of XML in GNUe.

Please let me know if there are any other ideas out there.
