Paul Campbell (paul AT taniwha.com) ... he does klaptopdaemon in kde3. he also

l.c.a is also a really, really great chance to network with other projects. if 
there is the energy available, it may be nice to do an outreach program where 
various projects could come together with kde to swap project needs and 
status. 

otherwise, i think what you've got above is really quite good.

last year the room was packed for the general kde talk (a few hundred people 
all told) and the kiosk presentations (i forget if it was half a day or a 
whole day? i think the latter) also filled the room it was in (30-40 people?) 

the two days of kde devel instruction were decently attended as well with a 
couple dozen people being there over the course of the sessions. 

so there is evidently the appetite there for kde stuff. it would be nice to 
see both developer and sys admin topics covered again this year to keep those 
topics hot in the region. we need users, but we also need contributors.

random thought: a "create a kde application" session would be cool where 
people actually come and make their first kde app live in the classroom along 
with instructors. maybe have someone going through the generic process step 
by step while a couple others roam the room giving hands-on help as needed?
