I needed to do a presentation off-the-cuff. I can yack about it at will for
hours.
I was part of the group that designed Be's non-recursive fully-dependant
GNU Make-based build system. I'm probably the only one on the list that
knows both that there were some very useful changes between GNU Make 3.80
and GNU Make 3.81, and what those changes were.
If we have a projector, I'm thinking of giving a presentation on making
GDM themes. Though I may do just an over-view and cover customizing the
entire initial boot up (for Ubuntu, at least) with Grub background images,
Usplash themes (the only part Ubuntu-specific), GDM themes, and easy themed
screen savers.
I'd then accompany the presentation online with an article going over the
things I mentioned in the presentation with appropriate links.
If there's no projector, I'll give more of a speech about GNU Make. It won't
have pretty pictures, but it'll have content.
One way or another, there will be a presentation.
Cheers,
Steven Black
