Yeah, I think they announced it a year ago. I had to move amongst the flock shepherding the discontented ones. > >> Under contribution, a shoutout to the engagement team would rock. > > > No problem.

I should actually put all my pinpoint slides that I've done because they have copious amounts of speaker notes in them. Basically so much so that you can practically do the talk reading off the speaker notes. :) > >> >> It's great to see you >> doing a presentation and talking about GNOME! > > > I get a little nervous about public speaking, but I am looking forward to > it, too. I will hopefully get an audio recording of it to synchronise with > the slides. If so I will post it up on planet GNOME, afterwards! I'm sure you'll do great! My first talk was at Linuxfest Northwest just after GNOME 3.0 was release. I was pretty nervous too. Plus, we had a ton of unhappy users because of the drastic changes. But it went fine and I wasn't as nervous. For me, what was good was to have a lot of speaker notes which really helps me and makes me feel confident. I know today is the day of your talk, so GOOD LUCK! Please let us know how it went on. Thanks for sharing the slides. Don't forget to put a license on it. :) sri > > Thanks again, > > Magdalen > > [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Presentations > _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
