edX presentation ideas

We had a brainstorming session at the edX office and generated some ideas of what we think would be interesting to talk about at Open edX Con. These are ideas, not sessions that will definitely run during the conference. After all of the CFP responses have been reviewed, we'll go back to this list and see what we can fit in and what works best with the rest of programming.

Things you can do now:

  • Add more ideas to the table
  • Tag yourself on things you would be interested in
  • Add notes
  • Comment on what you would be interested in seeing

Running Open edX InstancesDevOpspanel 

Members of the community who are running Open edX instances will be invited to share experiences/best practices. Would be good to have edX represented, since that's the largest Open edX instance - maybe someone from DevOps would be interested?
