[Coco] CoCo Talk #7 "For Beginners" Saturday, May 6th @ 2:00 PM EST

[L. Curtis Boyle]

I think the main purpose is just to have some variety, so that we have something of interest (and education) for all users, of all levels. I wouldn’t count #6 as non-technical; it was a Fest wrap up. We also are not scheduling specific talks for specific topics; this was just a week we wanted to help some of the newer people in the community get involved, and to learn what all new stuff is out. Some of those questions even involved hardware projects from yourself, Ed and Mark Marlette; it actually helps promote your projects to people who may have heard of them, but have no real idea what it does or what is capable of.
Fear not; technical topics will still be featured. We just plan on mixing things up a bit. If there is enough demand, maybe we will split a talk into 2 (or more segments), so that we can cover multiple levels of users in the same show. And how much time is spent on (each) topic will depend on the crowd hanging around in Skype that particular day. :-)
