Redmine

h1. Presentation

I'm trying to get a presentation together for the FrOSCon:"http://www.froscon.de/" and would like to gather topic ideas and maybe even work out the outline here with other redminers. The presentation time being 1 hour of which 15 minutes should be allocated to questions, I only have 45 minutes to present redmine, which I would consider a rather short timespan. Keeping that in mind, I won't be able to present every feature of redmine in detail and will try to highlight the areas in which redmine really shines.

h2. Resources

* The [[Features|redmine features]] page, obviously,

* Other already existing presentations:

* I'll try to bring in my own experience, though I fear it is not that much a typical redmine usage.
