+- A Brief History of the windows port
+
+ When (and why?) was the windows port added? Was that contentious? How
+ about now? (5m)
+
+- Acquire Binaries
+
+ There are lots of ways for Windows users to get pre-compiled Emacs
+ binaries. I'll mention some and get into the particulars of Emacs as
+ found on GNU FTP. (2m)
+
+- Build Sources
+
+ I'll talk about how building for Windows differs from building for
+ other platforms, where to find documentation, important configuration
+ options to consider, requirements for the build machine. After that
+ I'll show build commands and good and not-so-good outputs, ultimately
+ covering the complete process, both using the latest release tarball
+ (from GNU FTP) as well as for building the main development branch
+ from emacs.git (hosted on GNU Savannah). (20m)
+
+- Make an Installer
+
+ I'll show how to use the NSIS script contained within
+ admin/nt/dist-build in the Emacs source tree to create an executable
+ self-installer of Emacs for Windows. (2m)
+
+- Share
+
+ I'll describe the requirements of the GNU Public License as related to
+ sharing binary versions of Emacs, and talk about what I do to comply,
+ command by command. (1m)
+
+- Automate
+
+ I'll introduce scripting I use to automate publishing binaries
+ tracking a given Emacs branch, and a couple other related tools, thus
+ recapping most topics. (10m)
+
+# Discussion
+
+- I can't imagine cross-compiling Emacs for Windows on Linux is easy, but sounds "fun".
