>Management, introduces the current state of AG 2.0 node management and plans

>AG 2.0 virtual venue and plans for the next year

I'd start with the venue client:

Venue client
         Starting
         Common operations
                 Navigating
                 Starting / stopping media
                 Files
         quitting

Node management
<Does this include setup?>
         Configuration
         Manipulating audio
         Manipulating video

Venue servers
         Configuration
         Starting
         Maintenance

Upcoming plans


>Afternoon Session
>
>-Installation and Operation of AG 2.0 (1.5 hours) : includes installing
>Venue Server and setup of software for nodes (Full node and PIG)

Is this any more than a screenshot runthrough of the software install? 1.5 
hours seems a lot for that.


>-Advanced of Core AG 2.0 Toolkit (2 hours) : examples of how to extend the
>AG core

Not sure what you mean by extensions of the core; is this adding services, 
or new features to the core itself.

>-Advanced Application Development (1 hour) : walk through of application
>development on top of AG 2.0

Does this mean adding services?
