>     * 30mins : Welcome, about Android eco-system
>     * 60mins : Play w/ test devices, test your app, try other people's apps.
>     * 30mins : Android 2.1 Demo (Live Wallpaper, Sync Providers, Contact Badge), Nexus One features.
>     * 60mins : Split into teams to create a Live Wallpaper.
>     * 30mins : Live Wallpaper group demos 
> 
> If folks in the local community want to contribute content, like a local talk or local lightning demos of apps, we can certainly try to work that into the agenda. Otherwise, just bring a laptop, power, and cool ideas!
