This is my first year speaking at PyCon, so I solicited speaking/preparation advice from a bunch of folks, particularly focusing on the PyCon speaking experience. I've compiled the results and put them online: http://ref.rtfd.org/speakers This is still rough, and feedback is welcome, as is more advice. :) For anyone speaking at the conference (or generally), I hope this will be helpful. Thanks! -eric

Wow. As somebody who has given plenty of talks, I can tell you this is an awesome checklist (and most of it not specific to PyCon). Let me add one suggestion -- never, ever, ever, type a URL into a browser connected to the internet in front of a live audience. You never know when you're going to make a typo and something *totally* not what you expected will fill the screen. If you absolutely insist on ignoring the good advice about not doing live demos, at least bookmark your urls and click on the bookmark. DAMHIKT.

Roy, > Let me add one suggestion -- never, ever, ever, type a URL into a browser connected to the internet in front of a live audience. You never know when you're going to make a typo and something *totally* not what you expected will fill the screen. Great advice! Years ago I did a presentation on Python and then launched a browser to give a tour of the Python website. When I went to enter the URL, I accidentally typed in python.com (which at the time was an adult website) vs. python.org. Talk about getting your audience's attention!! Malcolm BTW: Great tips Eric - thanks for sharing.

Thanks! > > -eric Good general presentation tips, I have another suggestion: If you bring your own laptop, make sure to practice connecting it to the projector and have a special presentation account (which you also used for your practice and nothing else). -- mph
