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.
Audience
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?
Internet Access
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.
