[Desktop_printing] Detailed Agenda for the Printing Summit -- Second Proposal

Oi,

unfortunately, not very many of the participants called in on the third
preparation conference call for the Printing Summit, but the call were
productive two hours anyway. A forth preparation call is already planned.

The main thing we have worked out is taking into account all your
comments (thank you very much for them) to improve the agenda. And here
it comes, the second proposal, and every comment or suggestion on it is
welcome:

Main changes:

- We have inserted some breaks now

- We have moved the driver modularization from Wednesday to Tuesday
  morning to have all driver-related stuff together.

- We have put CUPS completely after the FSG OpenPrinting implementation
  to have the CUPS 1.2 presentation and integration of CUPS with
  standards together.

- Printer Certification/Testing is moved to Wednesday, so that it comes
  after drivers and modularization, as having talked about
  distro-independent modularized driver packages is important before
  discussing distro-independent printer certification.

- We have scheduled reporting sessions for the breakouts

- We have scheduled two reports for the paper prototyping session
  running in parallel to the main conference.

- We have scheduled a session on Tuesday evening to connect to a
  Satellite Printing Summit in Kyoto, Japan. This way we can discuss the
  topics of FSG OpenPrinting Japan with the people in Japan who could
  not make it to Atlanta.

- On Wednesday evening we will reserve a room in the hotel for
  additional discussion for the people who stay until Tursday or longer.

- "Roundtables" are renamed to "Open Discussion"

- "Working Sessions" are renamed to "Breakout Sessions"
