[Design-team] VT/FUDcon Blacksburg: Open Source Design Tools Workshop

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi Ben,

I spoke to the design team about the possibility of doing a workshop for
VT during FUDcon Blacksburg.

The amount of time and topics we can cover are going to vary depending
on who is able to obtain funding to attend:

- Klaatu (who is definitely coming accdg. to wiki) can teach Kdenlive,
GIMP, or Scribus
- Emily (who is still seeking funding accdg. to wiki) can teach
Inkscape, GIMP
- Elad (who is still seeking funding accdg. to wiki) can teach GIMP and
some Inkscape

I think because we only know for sure that Klaatu and I will be there,
we should do something modular so units can be swapped in or out
depending on attedance. E.g.:

A three hour workshop one day, with one hour each devoted to:

- Gimp
- Inkscape
- Kdenlive (Klaatu)

The person leading each tool's instruction will vary depending on who we
have showing up (except for Klaatu who we'll need to teach Kdenlive);
folks helping out who aren't leading the class can act as lab
assistants.

If there is a computer lab available, would it be possible to have the
software pre-installed? If we are expecting students to bring their own
laptops, then we should probably tack on an optional hour to the front
of the class to prep students' computers.

What do you think?
