Plenary Ideas and Suggestions

After lunch at UDS we usually have an hour of plenary talks to give people an opportunity to address Ubuntu developers as a whole. Usually these are broken up into :15 minute sessions. If you want to do a plenary then please add your topic below. Here are some hints:

• The intended audience is the group of Ubuntu Developers and upstreams/downstreams in attendance.
• "Here's what's going with this upstream project and how it will affect Ubuntu" makes for great plenaries.
• 15 minutes is preferred but if you need more time then please note that.
• The presenter should not bore people to death, remember it's right after lunch.

When scheduling starts JorgeCastro will slot your plenary into a session and it will show up on the schedule. It is up to YOU to ensure that your presentation gets delivered to Jorge ahead of time. This can be via USB stick, mail, Ubuntu One, or whatever. Unless you are demoing something that requires your own laptop we'd ask everyone to just use the projector already there. Jorge will also drive your slides if you want and take questions from the audience with the microphone.

Proposed Plenaries

Lightning Talks

On the Friday instead of Plenaries we will have Lightning Talks. Remember that it's the end of UDS and everyone will be tired, so don't be boring. We're just going to queue you up next to the projector and fire off a 5 minute timer. Sign up here:

Plenaries and Lightning Talks You'd Like to See

If you'd like to see a topic covered put it down here so we can hunt presenters down:

• At GUADEC mpt gave a talk on ten things developers can do to improve their software from a design basis. That would be a great talk to have at UDS.
• At GUADEC mpt once explained to me the details of what makes fonts awesome; stuff I never noticed. We should have mpt/mt do a combined font geek thing.
• Boot speed progress report
