There would be two types of attendees - library authors and observers.
a) Each library author would make a very short presentation (3 min) of what the library attempts to accomplish. To be eligible, a library must have documentation.
b) Authors draw lots to select a library other than their own. Observers are also permitted to draw lots or just select a library they might be interested.
c) Each selected library is “critiqued” by investigating the library and keeping a contemporaneous log on the experience. I’ll prepare a place where these critiques can be posted.
d) I will be available to answer questions and provide encouragement. Hopefully I can convince another boost author to show up.
So the timing would be:
8:30 - short introduction by me to describe the rules above.
8:35 - author presentations - assume 7
9:00 - drawing of lots - critique period begins
(9:15 - first session ends, second session begins in the same room, some attendees may switch sessions)
10:00 - pencils down - wrap up.
If there is demand, this session could be repeated subsequent evenings.
