Guide to Presenting at GTALUG

First please review our Code of Conduct, we want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.

Demographic

  • Users, students, system admins and developers.
  • High level of knowledge (or at least interested) in computing.
  • Roughly half are in the technology industry, a quarter are studying technology in school, and the rest will be users.

Participation

  • Set the ground rules for asking questions before the meeting:
    • Can people just ask questions whenever they want? This will be the default for you talk
    • Do you want people to wait to ask questions until the end of your talk?

Don't count on having access to the Internet in the meeting space (even if you bring a mobile hotspot the reception in the room will be horrible). It's a good idea to have everything you need running on your local hard drive.

Tips and Tricks

  • If you have a Video on Youtube, Vimeo, etc. you'd like to reference, the youtube-dl or you-get utility can be used to make a offline copy.
