[sugar] Tentative talk schedule: Nov 19

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

What about making Tuesday Content/Collaboration Day?  I will be leaving 
by  early afternoon of Thursday... :-(
Ed Cherlin is coming, so that would make one more for Content Day, and 
certainly I would be happy to tell you where OLE is at in that field, 
and even discuss e-learning platforms and how they are part, or not, of 
Sweet (Maybe Martin L. could tell us more on this - he's the pro from 
Dover)

Yes, I would be happy to make a short presentation re: 
Languages/Localization for the il8n slot Wed.  Will prepare a few notes 
for that, and polish on the way.

Also, if I could take a few minutes for the record on "Artistry of 
Community Building, the Sur Experience" during Greg Dek & Mel Chua's 2 
pm Community on Wed?  I'd be more than glad to dissect the subject in 
detail on Tuesday, but a short to-the-point presentation for those who 
will make it only on Wed might make sense - I believe that a lot of 
successful volunteer collaboration reproducibility hinges on lessons 
learned in setting up Sur. I hope to have more time (Tuesday?) to 
discuss this with others and learn and figure how to go past the 
bottlenecks that make Sur to have plateau-ed at 170.

Nevertheless, Teacher Training/ is a major topic, so if there is a 
chance to fit it on Wednesday that would be great! 15 min + 15 min 
discussion  should be enough for a sharp approach to the thing.
