tokamak planning

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi all ..

with tokamak getting closer, i'd like to start working on the content part of 
the planning for it.

on the T3 page on Techbase there's the Topics section:

	http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma/Tokamak3#Topics

it would be good if every attendee could put down a presentation topic for our 
Day 1 Presentations. for the SoC students, that's probably very easy: present 
on your project ;) but you can present, really, on whatever you want. they 
aren't long presentations as we should fit them all into one day, leaving room 
for details like food and toilet breaks ;)

below that there is the development topics list. i've added one there as an 
example, though it's a real example, to get us started. please add whatever 
you want to that list; think of it as a "brain storm" section. we may not get 
to everything that ends up on that list at T3, but that's ok.

at T3 we will put the list of items up on a board and people can express 
interest in them and we will then try and put together a loose schedule around 
them.

since we are in a really nice area of the world in terms of natural 
surroundings and we won't have to be travelling between hotel and hacking 
area, i'm going to try and structure the days similar to what we did in Trysil 
a couple years back. that means our days will look something like:

* post-breakfast debrief: this is where anyone can bring up topics/issues from 
the previous day so everyone else is up to speed as well as announce what they 
will be working on that day (if they know ;) so others can coordinate. ~30 
mins, gets the brain in gear post-breakfast

* hacking until lunch

* post-lunch walk outdoors, during which we can discuss design and 
implementation issues in natural surroundings. we're creating a more organic 
interface, what better way to do this than spend some time in the real organic 
interface: nature. also helps to get people away from the computer screen and 
thinking about things. depending on the day, we may end up with a group 
meeting outdoors before returning. 45 minutes - 1.5 hours, depending.

* return and hack until we fall over in happy heaps of tired plasma people 
(with dinner somewhere in there ;)

any/all of the components above will be flexible, of course. we don't need to 
do all parts every day, but that will be the general idea for most days.

p.s. first home automated using plasma == awesome ;)
