- several talks and topics where proposed, as of now only Helge has confirmed two talks (thanks Helge!)I'll be there and can hold two talksSaturday 15:00 - 16:00: Cross-Platform Objective-C Development Using GNUstep (Presentation)Sunday 12:00 - 13:00: Building Server Applications using Objective-C and GNUstep (Tutorial)Since there will be fewer of us this year, I decided it's better to give general presentations for the "general non-GNUstep public" on how they could use Objective-C and GNUstep to "do usefulthings"
If I can scrape some time together I would be willing to prepare such an ObjC Basics session (maybe including some exercise on the notebooks the people bring along - that would possibly even exclude GNUstep itself to keep the setup requirements low - so just doing some hello world stuff in ObjC for which only an installed GCC with ObjC+Runtime would be needed).
But then again I don't know the underlying C that much by heart so that some quirky questions by the auditorium could easily knock me off.
Maybe I just prepare the slides and somebody else can take over at FOSDEM?
- as opposed to talking about details of a specific project or piece of software. ;-)The room is small (31 people) so I wouldn't be too hurried about cancelling it. We're not taking up huge resources from Fosdem, and our line-up of presentations is quite decent and exciting. A lot of people know about Apple and Objective-C and will be interested - the room might evenbe too small for some of the activities! ;-)
True.
What is missing (IMO) from our presentation lineup is someone talking about Etoile.
I am also very much interested in this (especially all the stuff David Chisnall did with the runtime and the LanguageKit), but from what I heard of the Étoilé people my hopes are low. Blame the weak Pound for it (or whatever).
Thanks
regards, Lars
