Hey Guys,
I'll be in Montreal on October 2nd (Wednesday) giving a tech talk about ReactOS, for about 2 hours. I intend to go over everything from development to infrastructure (translation, testing, etc).
Are there any materials and/or suggestions from previous talks available anywhere? Any set of tools/games/apps you recommend I try out?

To give you some points that should outline our complex infrastructure:
* We're operating 3 servers in Sweden, 2 in Germany and 1 in Poland One more for Sweden is being configured right now. If desired, I can outline some hardware details. * Services we use for ReactOS development: - Atlassian Crucible with FishEye & JIRA - BuildBot - cppcheck - Doxygen - Several VMs just for ROS Regression Testing (KVM, VirtualBox, VMware ESXi, VMware Player) - Subversion & ViewVC * On top of this, we're also operating an advanced Web & Mail infrastructure with components such as: - Drupal - IServ - MediaWiki - Nginx - phpBB * Some of our online services are developed in-house such as: - http://old.reactos.org/compat/ (still not moved to the new site..) - https://reactos.org/getbuilds - The whole regression testing system consisting of: * Wine tests * ROS API tests * AutoHotKey application tests * rosautotest for running all of them in a row, keeping a journal and outputting a log * sysreg for controlling a VM, installing ROS on it and capturing the serial debug log * https://reactos.org/testman for working through the log of sysreg, adding testing information to our databases and easily browsing through that information * Don't forget to take a screenshot of http://build.reactos.org/waterfall :)
While we're talking about this, you should also tell your people about the two non-profit organizations we have established in Russia and Germany. The German one handles all donations and will be ready to provide students with scholarships for working on ROS (by around the end of the year). It also regularly consumes much time of 3 ReactOS members (Matthias, Daniel and me, who are part of the Board :))

Pity that I understand neither Russian nor Chinese...
@Aleksey: If you allow I have two small suggestions regarding your style of lecture based on the linked video (I don't know whether this already changed since the time of recording though): - try to look towards your students - please keep your hands out of your pockets As a student I definitely prefer presenters that respect these two points (and yes, I'm aware that this can be hard)

Thanks Sven, I improved after watching the first recorded video of the lecture myself, and tried to "fix" those issues in the next lectures. Next time to practice would be 2014 spring when I am reading the same course to the new 2nd year students.

Yes, watching a recording of oneself can be really helpful. And its nice to see that you take interest in your style of lecture. I know quite a few lecturers that don't give a thing about it :(

Will the session be available online?
