LF Desktop Linux Workgroup Conference Call - Agenda 2/13
====== 
Attendees : 

- Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit 

The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit will be April 8 - 10, 2008. The 
format will  be similar to last year: April 8th will be a general day with 

panels and general discussion and the inclusion of press and analysts. 
Days two and three will hold workgroup meetings (such as DAM, LSB, CGL, 
etc) and collaboration sessions.

Last year's event sold out quickly. Don't wait, apply to attend this 
innovative event today:

DAM will be a main tent event and we shouldn't be constrained by space in 
the UT facility. 

John will work with Angela/Amanda/Dan on DAM logistics :
    - Agenda and presentation tracks
        - OEM Preload Partnership track
                - Discuss the challenges of what is really required to 
develop, test and bring a preloaded Linux system to market and then 
support it through its lifecycle.  How can these OEMs 
better participate in the community and how can the community better 
assist the OEMs.

        - Tracks for strategic focus areas/technical gaps where we want to 

assemble the key decision makers, maintainers and stakeholders and drive 
consensus and action

        - Distro Track - 
            - Invite Distros to discuss 2008 plans and pain points.  Find 
common ground to share more infrastructure, nuture technologies that 
benefit all the distros

    - Set up the LF wiki to manage the evolving agenda and line up 
presentations
    - Create and send out a presentation template to presenters
   -  The LF has a modest travel fund to bring the right Desktop Architect 

attendees to Austin.
