Usually a member of the community provides AOO templates for the presentations. Most people don't use them. There's no rule here. > - are there some "rules" or directives on how to write the presentation? While we have, in the past, had conference talks about how to give conference talks, there are no rules, other than try to give a great talk that will be beneficial to your audience. Consider who your audience is likely to be, and give them what they need, without a lot of fluff. Oh, and no sales pitches. That's a pretty standard rule. If you Google "presentation skills" and click on the videos tab, you can learn a *lot* in just a few minutes of watching. I find the most important thing to think of as you write your talk is, who is the audience, and what do they need to know. > - What is the time available for every speaker?

If you want to practice your presentation ahead of time, practice in front of a camera, and then ask here. Someone will be willing to review for you. If you want to practice on-site before your talk, we will have rooms available for that. (Or, at least, we usually do. People very seldom take advantage of that.) -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
