The schedule looks curently that short, I don't think that is needed at the moment (of course Jaldhars workshop will run partly parallel, I don't think we can avoid that if we stay at one day). > > - Something local about free software and free culture: > > Fabian Fagerholm is contacting finish organizations like their CC and > > EFFI (similar to EFF) for something hot like software patents > Creative Commons has expressed interest.

I want to avoid, that Jaldhar is suddenly confronted with 100 people trying to share 10 computers in a small lab ;) > > So, next steps: > > > > - Collect abstracts > > - finalize the schedule > Abstracts for Debian Day? I define abstracts as one or more small paragraphs, which tell the audience a bit about the topic of the talk, to arouse their interest. > I suggest we agree on a one-line topic with the speakers.

Yes, if the speakers don't know a small abstract it's okay. > Do we have different views on the audience for Debian Day?

Yes, I concour. I try to keep it in mind before doing overkill things :) Yours sincerely, Alexander -- http://learn.to/quote/ http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
