[Ubuntu-SG] Speaker Request for NUS SFD, 19 Sept 2008 @ NUS

[Chew EK]

We got one hour presentation.  It's not a lot of time, but also can be too
long.  The presentation must be convincing in getting people to try Ubuntu.
Yet, it mustn't be too anti Windows, to avoid misleading the audience (one
of the complaints from newbies in the ubuntuforums ;-p ).

It would be great if we can share the presentations among a few people, each
talking about different areas.  For instance, I knows only a little about
wine and even less about wubi, so it would be tough to talk about them.

Let me throw out a list of topics.  I know it's a long list and might not be
able to cover all; anyone want to have their 15 minutes of fame :-), please
volunteer.

What is Ubuntu?  Just a short intro about alternative OS to set the stage.

This part is talking about sharing and collaboration, rather than "me me me"
philosophy, should be attractive to the young crowd?
