[Steering Committee] Sc Meeting

[Brett L. Schuchert]

Basically... Or..

Brief (3 - 5 minute) overview of where we are about to go.
Then a vertical slice through the technology
Get to a complete working example
Then questions (maybe going horizontal)
Then another slice through the system.
Then questions
Etc.

Going horizontal primarily to answer questions.

What I've seen recently are presentations that try to cover way to much in too little time. By helping the presenters to focus on concrete examples and move away from trying to cover the whole API, I think the presentations will be better.

I don't want a lecture on the technology. If it is interesting enough, I'll do that on my own time.

Anything worth talking about probably won't fit into 60 minutes, so we need to get presenters to get rid of details. That is, they need to model their presentation. Where modeling is removing details to get to some essence, or point.
