tutorials / slides for seminars or workshops (was: 'Re: LyX Promotion')

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
I think this is a very good idea.

4.) It seems that there are people willing to help promote/evangelize LyX, but I'm not sure we offer much in the way of promotional materials to help. Would it be worthwhile to create a limited number of tutorials for people, like Venom, who will be holding seminars or workshops? (I've also thought about teaching a design workshop through my local library, and these materials would help provide a curriculum.)

I will be holding a workshop on LyX to graduate types at my university
and I'm not very sure where from to begin. Some ready materials
(slides on the advantages of LyX/LaTeX over MS Word and the hord, step
by step tutorials for creating your first document in LyX, using
bibliography and fancier features) would be of enormous help.

At the moment I plan to start with the 'Help > Documentation' in
preparing my tutorial. Perhaps some of you have already passed through
this experience and have some materials readily available? If so,
please post them here.

Regards
Liviu

How long should it be? A year ago I had one hour workshop on LyX in my
department, and I started with very short into on LaTeX and "in what scene
LyX is different from word", and then about 40 minutes of demonstration of
what can I do and how can I do that.

If there is nothing better, I can translate my tutorial to English (few
beamer-slides, and 3 pages of "do that in order to achieve this..." list...
