| Session name | Description | User level | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creating FUDCon booklets, or "Ian's raptor-proofing talk" | A quick overview on tips and tricks I've learned in creating information booklets for Tempe, Blacksburg, and Lawrence, and a demonstration of the tools involved and some best practices in desktop publishing. | Intermediate | Ian Weller |
Lightning talks (Friday)
We'll do lightning talks after lunch on Friday (depending on things). These talks are to be no longer than 5 minutes, at which point we will gong you out. Talk about what you are passionate about, which doesn't have to necessarily be Fedora.
