Re: [marketing-events] OOo RegiCon North America - Speakers
thats really interesting, I was talking with Richard Holt in skype, he is the co-lead from the spanish community. He was really interested with the INGOT program. He told me he will contact you since he has some links with the schools in Venezuela. He will probably contact you if he hasnt already done so.

Daniel asked earlier about slides as he is doing a lightening talk, and I suggested that he have at least one slide with the title of his talk and his name. If Daniel has done his own title and name slide, then I think you have got out of that job :) As the MC, I would be attending and encouraging all the speakers to attend a/the rehearsal. I think Gary is the only one (so far) that has said he cannot make it to the scheduled rehearsal. I don't want to drag my laptop around with me, so I've corresponded with Heather at Linspire, who has said, You can use our laptop, we can test it out on Wed. morning to be sure its running correctly with the system. We should have openoffice and impress on the supplied laptop - I'll check with our tech people to be sure I'll have my slides and Daniel's with me on CD (and I'll email them to Heather ahead of time too), so we can load them onto the Linspire laptop. Other speakers in our group can do the same, if they wish. Or we could put everything on someone else's laptop. Having everyone's slides on one machine would certainly simplify the process. Jean

Jacqueline, What time is the rehearsal, and do you have any pointers on how to edit that slide footer in the presentation template?

Re: [marketing-events] OOo RegiCon North America - Speakers
Go into Master Slide View. Then you can click on the footer and modify it.

It is automatically updating the slide number, but I can't figure out how to change the "Your Name - Your Open Office Role" part. Thanks for the help.

Re: [marketing-events] OOo RegiCon North America - Speakers
Jacqueline was kind enough to provide us with a template for our presentations at the OORegicon. I have finished my presentation, but I have to ask a somewhat embarassing question about the template. (Please keep in mind I don't work much with Impress.) How do I modify the text of the footer? It is automatically updating the slide number, but I can't figure out how to change the "Your Name - Your Open Office Role" part. Thanks for the help.

Daniel Carrera wrote: What about those giving lightning talks? I can make an Impress presentation, but wouldn't that take away time from a short talk? I'm probably missing something obvious. Cheers, Daniel. You are on the right track :) Speakers presenting lightning talks do not require and are encouraged to not have slides. But you may wish to have one slide with the title of your talk, an outline or pertinent message or image. Just so that the audience has two items to look at - you and the slide :) I figured we would be using only one computer (with a ready standby) and all the slides would be on the one computer so this would minimise the setup. Also, it reduces the likelihood of equipment not working, especially if you are a speaker that is not going to the rehearsal. Yes, the template is for all speakers except lightning talks. As I suggested in my previous mail, if all speakers have buddies, then your buddy, could display the one slide while you are speaking. Just an idea.

The most often asked question at OOoCon was, "when will the xyz presentation be available on the web site?". If I have them ready to upload at the completion of OOoRegiCon, I don't think we can do better than that :) Remember also, that all speakers need to complete and sign the Linspire Speaker Release Agreement (http://marketing.openoffice.org/conference/regicon/Speaker_Agreement.pdf). Many of you, the volunteers are speakers, so those of you that are not speaking I would like to ask whether you could look after your speakers. Perhaps it may be worthwhile setting up a buddy system, so every speaker has a buddy. Ryan is MC, but I think it is always helpful to have a speaker buddy and or roady so that all the speaker has to do is get there and someone else looks after the timing, equipment etc. Just a thought.
