>
> Hello all,
>
> Would anyone be interested in attending an Advanced Topics
> presentation/workshop on presenting for those, like me, who would never
> in a thousand years go up before a live audience?
>
> Everyone has a topic to present and I hope to both alleviate fears
> people might have and hopefully inspire YOU to give a talk.
>
> EVERYONE has a unique background and thus something to talk about
> because it can be as simple as "my first week with...". All you need is
> enthusiasm, not expertise.
>
> - The worst that can go wrong (true story: tsunamis, volcanos...)
> - Topic generation
> - Books on the subject (possibly with a giveaway to the person who has
> never spoken and we all find the perfect topic for)
> - Tools, tips, techniques
> - Events to apply for
> - How to apply
> - Fringe benefits
>
> Audience: open-minded by shy people who meet the above 1000 year
> criteria. A few folks who have say, spoken at OSCON (looking you Brian)
> might be good to fuel the conversation.
>
> Hint: A few CPF's close shortly and we could do this next Tuesday.
>
> Any interest?
