+Biography
+---------
+Michael Schloh von Bennewitz is a computer scientist specializing in
+network software, mobile computing, and client server design. He speaks
+at technical events every year. In the past, he has given lectures on
+object oriented design, technical writing, network protocols, mobile
+OSs, MeeGo development, LDAP integration strategies, and the Qt library
+build process. His speaking style is humorous, using gestures and good
+eye contact. He walks about the room and writes presentations in SVG or
+HTML5.
+
+Abstract
+--------
+Given that LDAP development efforts have been few and weak, a number of
+directory relevant use cases lead to the question 'Why do so few mobile
+operating systems integrate directory client logic?'
+
+This lecture begins by explaining concepts and presenting history and
+background of directory services relating to a typical Android business
+user.
+
+Consideration of business and general use cases prove the value of LDAP
+in mobile applications integrated into the Android OS or as stand alone
+apps. A comparison is drawn to what use cases SQL covers.
+
+Advancing into the topic of what Android could provide as a platform,
+business development scenarios are discussed and what advantages
+integrating directory services bring.
+
+A technical view is given of the Android platform architecture. Third
+party implementations of applications and development SDKs are
+considered.
+
+A demonstration of developing an Android application using a well known
+LDAP Java SDK is concluded with a review of a selected business use
+case and consideration of how one would hypothetically procede.
+
+The audience consists of developers familiar with client server design
+and maybe SQL, LDAP, or other directory and database technology.
+
+Attendants expect clearly defined directory use cases, abstract
+concepts, concrete definitions, and a well explained hello world
+LDAP development example. The Android community stands to benefit
+from a collective effort at integrating LDAP wherever a strong case
+for directory service exists.
+
+The following text is a lecture outline.

+Questions (5 minutes)
+---------------------
+  Anticipated questions
+    Why not just use a (Static|SQL|Lync|other) directory in business?
+    What are the disadvantages of SQL or ODBC for similar applications?
+    How relevant are directory services other than just for contacts?
+    Why would a business not use whatever apps are already in the market?
+    Why not depend on a social network for directory services?
+
