Detailed agenda§

Here below is a detailed agenda of AOSCC 2016, with time and specific event information.

Day 1: Reflections and discussions§

Day 1 will be focused around reports and reflections of the past year and some initial planning of the next. An estimated time table is presented below.

Time	Event information
12:00 P.M.	Reception, Room 406 at the Administration Building
1:30 P.M.	Mingcong Bai: Annual report
2:30 P.M.	Mingcong Bai, Xingda Zheng: A.M.A (Ask Me Anything) about AOSC OS
3:30 P.M.	Mingcong Bai: Polls and discussions about the coming year
5:30 P.M.	Junde Yhi: lucky draws
6:00 P.M.	Tianhao Xiao: post-conference GPG signing party

During Day 1, reports and reflections will contain reviews of community involvement, project achievements, and stuff that are more or less left behind (and therefore should be taken care of in short order).

Planning and discussions are two other important component of Day 1, which will consist of:

Discussions: some features or new stuff are worth discussing over before the real "do", so we will do that here.
Votes/Polls:
- Codename of next year's AOSC OS development.
- Next year's default wallpaper for AOSC OS.
- Next year's AOSCC location.

Junde Yhi will then go on to host a lucky draw for licenses for CodeWeavers' CrossOver.

If fun is your thing, Day 2 will certainly be your day. Day 2 has a strong emphasis on sharing and clashing of ideas and knowledge. During the day, people from around the community will come in with their prepared speeches, there might just be your kind of thing inside!
