Whiteboard
Ubuntu OnAir best practices (some of it can also be found at wiki.ubuntu.
-------
* 1h sessions (30 mins would be too short for hangouts, considering the time to switch presenters)
* 5 minutes intro
* 40 mins talk
* 15 minutes to change speakers
* Careful with connectivity (suggested to have a backup connection)
* Brief and pick speakers carefully to fill the session and are experienced with running sessions
Other events (dates subject to change):
* UDW (30 Jan to 1st Feb)
* UOW (22nd to 24th May)
UADW on air
* 1h sessions
* 3 days
* 5 sessions per day (15 sessions total)
The host sets up the hangout, invites speakers:
* They need them to add UbuntuOnAir to G+, IRC nick, e-mails
* Bots are set up for #ubuntu-
* Webchat is embedded to ubuntuonair.com, so that folks can ask questions.
* The host needs to have a set of questions to fill the session if it ends up being excessively short.
* The host holds a separate hangout per session, so that we've got single videos to link to the timetable
* Tips for presenters:
* Check your background
* Check your lights
* Check your cam and mic
