[Klug-general] What sort of lightning?

[james snyder]

OK, here are a couple of ideas for a workshop / KLUG activity....

Talk idea 1: "System specification and configuration"

Someone in the audience comes up with a profile of a real or imaginary
Linux user that needs a Linux system ASAP.
Then the presenter (with or without the help of an assistant) does a live
demo on how to produce high spec Open Source ICT system to meet the needs
of this given user,
including:
1) a working system on which Linux is installed and configured to meet
that user’s needs
2) recommendations for ensuring safety and security,
3) an explanation of any software development.


Talk idea 2: "Open Source Program design, production and testing"

A KLUG developer could present a python program that they have developed,
including:
1) A description of a Python program specification that meets a given
requirement
2) how to consider the user’s needs
3) an analysis of the finished design identifying its strengths and
weaknesses
include data structure, data types, control structures and all
appropriate operators
4) test documentation including a test plan with valid, invalid and
boundary data, expected results,
actual results and changes identified as a result of testing;
5) plus a program review and evaluation report including an evaluation of
the developers' own performance.
6) We could then all evaluate the program and review it, and maybe
suggest further improvements.
All our opinions about the Program could be recorded and put onto a
wiki......

  So, the next meet is supposed to be one made up of lightning talks.

  For those who don't know what those are, see wikipedia:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks

  Another format is Pecha Kucha:

  Hopefully we can get as many people involved doing a talk.

  However, so I can put some thought into my own lightning talk, I
  would like to ask you, the members for ideas on what you would like
  to
  hear a talk on. Colin assures me that they don't have to be computer
  related, or linux related. They can be on pretty much anything (tho
  perhaps avoiding the big three is a good idea*). So suggestions on
  what
  you would like as a talk.

  If you want some ideas on non computery stuff I may be able to do a
  talk
  on, I shall shamelessly plug my website - http://quixotic.eu/

  Other wise, feel free to nominate a computery subject and I shall see
  if
  I can research it enough for a 400 second presentation on it.

  Right, waffle over, give me some ideas. Go!
