	information
Message-ID: <568DC233.1040000@lcabythebay.org.au>

Dear Speakers,

We trust you had a wonderful New Year, and we're excited to welcome you 
to Geelong in February as Speakers at linux.conf.au. There's some key 
information you need to know at this point, so please take a few moments 
to read through this email and ensure you're on track.


      Presentation progress and presentation template

Your presentations, tutorials and prototypes should now be well 
developed and you should now have rehearsed them several times.
If you need a presentation template, one is now available on the 
Conference Wiki;
https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Information_for_Speakers


      Audio Visual Information

The Speaker Info pack (on the Wiki) provides a run down of the rooms 
that you will be Speaking in. Here's what you need to know;

  * Every room except for Wool Museum will be running HDMI. Wool Museum
    will be running VGA. Adaptors will be provided, but if you have one,
    bring it with you.
  * Your presentation should be in 16:9 format, NOT 4:3. If your
    presentation is not 16:9 then it may be distorted on the video.


      Travel arrangements

If you're arranging your own travel, your flights should be booked and 
your Visas should be arranged by now. If you need a Letter of Invitation 
for your Visa, please let me know. Accommodation is very tight in 
Geelong during the conference, so if you don't have accommodation, you 
MUST book it now.

See the Wiki page for Transport on what Transport options are available;
https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Transport

If you're not arriving between 8am and 8pm on Sunday 31st January or 
departing before 8am on Saturday 6th Feb, you may need to make your own 
arrangements. Contact me if this will be an issue, and we'll do our best 
to accommodate you and/or provide information on your best options.

Ensure your flight details are listed at: 
https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Airport_arrivals_and_departures_page so we 
don't miss you at the Airport.


      What to pack

Not sure what to bring? Check out this helpful information:

      Speaker Information Session Sunday 31st January

There will be a Speaker Information Session at the conference venue on 
Sunday 31st January. It's not compulsory but is a great opportunity for 
you to become familiar with the rooms and layout.

All the very best in the lead up to your presentations, and safe travels.
See you in 24 days!

Kind regards,
Kathy Reid

Hello there,

Thanks for this information.

Looking at the "what you need to bring" page on the wiki, I noticed
that I should enter my arrival information on the "Airport arrival and
departure" page, however, I don't have an account for the wiki and
don't see any way to create one. Please advise.

Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing you all :)

Nic

The Funtional Programming miniconf is being held in Wool Museum.  At
least one of our speakers requires a USB-C -> VGA adaptor because
Apple.  Can you confirm if such an adaptor will be available?

Subject: [Speakers] PLEASE READ - Confirming A/V requirements for
	linux.conf.au
Message-ID: <56A87D22.2030707@lcabythebay.org.au>

Dear Speakers and Miniconf Organisers,


We?re now 4 days out from linux.conf.au, and many of you will be putting 
the finishing touches on your presentations. Much of the information 
below is covered in your Speaker Information Pack, and will be covered 
at the Speaker and Miniconf Organiser Briefing Session on Sunday 31st 
January,
but we?re recapping here, as we realise how busy you all are.

https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Information_for_Speakers#Speaker_Information_Pack


    What resolution should the slides / notes for my presentation be?

As previously communicated, your slides/notes should be 16:9 ratio. We 
will be using 720p resolution (1280 x 720p).


    What connections will there be? Do I need to bring my own adapter?

Allrooms will onlyhave HDMI connectors. If you need an adapter to output 
HDMI, please bring it with you.


If you forget your HDMI adapter, the A/V team might have one you can use 
- but there are no guarantees! Please contact the Speaker Liaison via 
return email if you must use VGA output. We do have a limited number of 
VGA to HDMI converters, but they may cause display issues.


Note:Previously information had indicated that Wool Museum was VGA only, 
this is turned out not to be the case.


    Can I test my laptop / setup?

Yes! It is also recommended that you do so.A test setup will be 
available in the Speaker and Media room, this will be identical to the 
in-room setup allowing you to plug your laptop in and check that it works.


    What has changed this year?

This year the conference will be using new hardware for video recording. 
This hardware has been trailed at a number of other conferences, but as 
with any new system there are likely to be unforeseen problems.


      Why has the capture hardware changed?

The new hardware is part of the TimVideos.us' HDMI2USB project 
<https://hdmi2usb.tv/>and enables capture in high definition. It has 
also been is designed to reduce the common issues presenters have when 
trying to present. Even more awesomely, the capture hardware is a fully 
open source design <https://hdmi2usb.tv/numato-opsis/>, running open 
source firmware <https://hdmi2usb.tv/firmware/>!


    What can I do to ensure my slides are as good as they possibly can be?

We?ll be covering common errors at the Speaker and Miniconf Organiser 
Briefing on Sunday afternoon, but they can be summarised at;


  *

    Ensure that text isn?t too close to the borders / sides of your slides

      o

        Projectors have a tendency to cut the sides of your slides!

  *

    Ensure that text is large enough to be readable at a distance (> 18
    point is usually a good guide)

      o

        If you can read your slide in the thumbnail preview, that is a
        good sign.

  *

    Ensure that text has good contrast

      o

        Many of the projectors have very poorcontrast. Just because it
        looks okay on your computer screen doesn't mean it will look
        okay on the projector.

      o

        Many people have problems with seeing low contrast. Please also
        try to consider colorblind people when picking colors.

  *

    Ensure that you spellcheck your document

  * We respectfully request that language used should be suitable for a
    12 year old to listen to (easy on the profanity please) and request
    that sexually explicit or similarly potentially offensive imagery be
    avoided.


With kind regards,
Kathy Reid

I only have VGA out and am unable to get an HDMI adapter this soon. Can I
reserve one and arrange a time to test it?

Subject: [Speakers] Where do I meet the airport bus on Saturday 30th and
 Sunday 31st January?
Message-ID: <56AAD03F.404@lcabythebay.org.au>

Hi everyone,

As you're already aware, we're providing buses from Melbourne 
Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon (AVV) airports to meet you on Saturday 30th 
and Sunday 31st <https://linux.conf.au/about/buses>.

To further assist you, we're providing further information on where to 
catch the buses.


    Where do I catch the bus at the airport?


      At Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL)

/This is where most people are arriving. If you're not sure which 
airport you're flying into, it's very likely to be this one!/

Volunteers in bright orange t-shirts will be roaming the airport. Look 
for the Volunteers in the bright orange t-shirts! The buses will depart 
from Bus Zone "L" (L for Lima) outside the international terminal. Bus 
zone L is coloured blue in this map. 
<http://melbourneairport.com.au/for-business/commercial-vehicles/ground-transport-operators.html> 



      At Avalon Airport (AVV)

Look for the Volunteers in the bright orange t-shirts in the Arrivals 
lounge. They will guide you to the bus.


On behalf of the conference team, we'd like to take this opportunity to 
wish you safe travels to Geelong, and we're delighted to host you in our 
home city. We're sure you'll have a wonderful time, and we can't wait to 
share what's going to be an amazing conference experience with you.


With kind regards,
The linux.conf.au 2016 Geelong - LCA By the Bay Team

Subject: [Speakers] Lightning talks - what you need to know and what you
	need to do
Message-ID: <56AC8B28.8070008@lcabythebay.org.au>

Hi everyone,

Are we having lightning talks 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_talk> at linux.conf.au this 
year?! Yes we are!
What do I need to know, we hear you ask. Excellent question.


      Where do I sign up for Lightning Talks?

Here: https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Lightning_talks


      What do I need to do to prepare for my Lightning Talk?

  * We are putting all Lightning Talk slides in one pack to make it
    easier to run Lightning Talks
  * You MUST email your Lightning Talk slides to
    lightning at lcabythebay.org.au
  * Your talk slides will then be added to the master slide deck
  * The slides will be all PDFd. Please send your slides in PDF.
  * If your slides are not emailed through, you won't have them in your
    Lightning Talk.


Kind regards,
Kathy Reid

Subject: [Speakers] Asking questions at Keynotes during linux.conf.au 2016
Message-ID: <56AC9557.8060809@lcabythebay.org.au>

So, have you ever looked forward to seeing one of your favourite people 
of Linux and Open Source in a linux.conf.au keynote? Wanted to ask them 
a well thought out question, but the question time was taken up with a 
comment thinly disguised as a question?

Fear no more!

This year, all Keynote questions will be curated, and only the best 
questions will be asked of the Keynote Speaker, by a facilitator.

How do you ask a question?

You email keynote at lcabythebay.org.au with your question, clearly 
indicating;

- the Keynote
- the question
- your name / identifier

Great questions will be asked. Poor questions will not. Easy.

Questions for Miniconfs, normal Presentations, Tutorials and Prototypes 
will happen as per the usual practice of putting up your hand and being 
given a microphone.

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,
Kathy Reid
