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

[Muhammad Heidir]

Hi,

We got 1 hour presentation. We can't cover all topics within that time.
We have to choose the best topic to talk about to the newbies.
Importantly, make them interesting, without going through the
technicalities.

Let's make a list of interested speakers. From here, decide which topic
you wanna cover. Let's keep the presentation to about 10mins each, so we
could have about 5-6 topics.

1) Chew - (Insert the presentation topic here)
2) Heidir - What is Ubuntu? A short introduction.

We will also need contributors for our booth. (If we decide to have
one).

All contributions are welcome.

Heidir
