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. I had some email contact with the FrOSCon people, and they pointed to "khmarbaise's talk":http://programm.froscon.org/2009/events/360.en.html last year and asked if I could either shift the focus a little bit or go a little more in-depth. Considering we use redmine more for group management than project management, I'll focus more on that aspect. h2.
