]> http://www.teknoids.net/groups/calicon08 Organizing a teknoids track for the next CALIcon en http://www.teknoids.net/node/8209 <p>At the unsession at the end of this year's conference, several folks talked about a "deep tech" track (for lack of a better name). The consensus seemed to be (correct me if I've got this wrong) that we wanted a track that emphasized "hands-on" howto tech....like the old installfest only broader. The idea would be to actually demonstrate your topic during the presentation. Some ideas put forth were:</p> <ul> <li>Build an ajaxish/web 2.0 app</li> <li>In-depth stylesheets (CSS, XSLT)</li> <li>Put up a Drupal site</li> <li>Virtualization (vmware)</li> <li>Using regular expressions</li> <li>Talking to mysql/postgresql from php/perl/python/etc.</li> <li>. . . and others I missed.</li> </ul> <p>The key seemed to be that folks wanted to see people doing things, not just talking about doing things.</p> cali conference Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:31:57 -0500
