Peter,<br>
A few hints for you from our FOSS4G 2009 experience:<br>
<br>
One thing we didn't get working very well in 2009, but which you
might have more success with is collecting metrics are about how
good different presentations are. (This would be really useful for
following years in selecting presentations.)<br>
Can each presentation finish with reference to a webpage, where
audience immediately spends 1 minute filling in an evaluation,
covering something like:<br>
<br>
1. The presentation just attended. (Presenter, Time, Date), probably
from a pull down list<br>
2. Ranking how good/interesting the presentation was, sliced a
couple of ways: (Content, Style of presenter)<br>
3. Profile the person doing the ranking: (Developer, Technical User,
Manager, Other)<br>
4. Guess number of people in the room: 10, 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000<br>
<br>
------<br>
<br>
You will probably find that all slides for the conference are
collected by staff of the PCO as they register to present. It will
probably be put into a directory like:<br>
Presentations/Monday/0900/Joe Blogs.ppt<br>
<br>
What I strongly urge you request from the staff as they collect this
material is that they also provide a URL to the abstract already on
your website, or alternatively, an Id, so that you can easily
automatically generate a link from abstract -> presentation.<br>
<br>
---------<br>
<br>
I also strongly suggest that you ask (not mandate) all presenters to
sign a confirmation that they are ok with their material being made
public on the website under a Creative Commons licence. Strongly
recommend they select either CC-By-SA or CC-By.<br>
<br>
The reason being that it is easy to collect this as it comes in, but
much harder to collect retrospectively. It also gives you the
permission required to publish other people's content.<br>

<div>We (FOSS4G) are planning to have handouts for the workshops
but not regular presentations. If you want to do something
yourself that's fine but my inclination would be to put
something online.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will be recording presentations (slides plus audio) using
FOSSLC and will have those online afterwards. We also plan to
have a way to put slides (or handouts) online, we're just
discussing a couple of options and will let you know what we
decide shortly.</div>

<div>If you have any other questions let me know.</div>

handouts for FOSS4G presentations? Is the conference making
copies for the audience? Do the presenters need to make
copies? How do we know how many to make if we need to do
this?<br>
<br>
Is the conference collecting presentations to put online or
to publish? Who should we get the presentation to? in what
format? by when?<br>
<br>
Sorry if this info has been already published somewhere, but
I do not remember see it so a pointer to it would be good.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Steve W<br>
