MCN folk, Timlynn and I will be attending our first MCN conference this month thanks to the generous award of an Emerging Professional scholarship by the Good Folks of this community. Thank you.
We have a demo and a Saturday afternoon panel presentation. And we have a very old cheap laptop, an aging iPad, a droid tablet and phone, etc. QUESTION: (I haven't been able to re-find this conference-related info on the new website... ) For a panel, what is the best, easiest way to present with slides? In particular, can/will a wireless iPad connection for PowerPoint work? Are slides best formatted to 16:9 aspect ratio? Other tips, etc. BTW, I grabbed a copy of AnyFont for $2 at the Apple app store and it is AWESOME! You bundle the non-iPad fonts you want in a zip (or do them one at a time), toss them in Dropbox, OneDrive or whatever service you use that supports "Open from..." and select AnyFont. Follow your proverbial nose and make a few clicks and this app will generate an updated iPad Profile and load it to install the new fonts. Head back to your PowerPoint or other font-using apps and WHAM-O! No more font substitution of fonts in your slides. Very much worth two bucks. Thanks in advance for any pointers to helpful info or other advice. BTW, we are especially interested in meeting other MCNers with an interest in CIDOC CRM-compatible _software design and development_. Sure, we're interested in meeting anyone using or interested in using the CIDOC CRM, with the more typical uses being focused on the ontological perspective and exercises in LOD harmonization. But we're especially interested in meeting folks doing, or interested in doing, design and development of software systems based on the (nearly) executable metamodel provided by the #cidocCRM (I use this as a "less-shouty" hashtag).
