I’m headed off to Boston (and then NYC!) next week for three days of free software love at LibrePlanet<\/a>, March 19-21. <\/p>\n

While there, I’ll be giving a speaker’s workshop – how to give talks at technical conferences. There’s not really a magical formula, just lots of tips and things to practice that will help you not only give great talks, but find excellent places<\/a> to give those talks, be prepared for speaking to any size crowd, and have a good time while you do it.<\/p>\n

I started giving talks at conferences about five years ago, and have been running my own conferences for three years. I still get the butterflies when I get up in front of people, but I’ve got a whole kit of strategies I now use to deal with it.<\/p>\n

The workshop is scheduled for 3:30-5:30pm<\/a>, and I’m sure we’ll all head out for dinner and conversation right after. <\/p>\n

I’ve also got one free pass to the conference left, so leave a comment if you’ll be in the area and can use the pass.<\/p>\n

Also, I’ll have some incredibly profane free software advocacy stickers on-hand to share. We’re free software activists, but we can still have fun, right? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
