1. Introduction

While many Linux users will give presentations at Linux User Group (LUG) meetings, Expos, and other

conferences, not everyone is effective at giving presentations. Much like public speaking, a presenter needs to

know how to communicate with their audience so that their topic is clear and understood by all. Topics that

may interest users can easily be lost with ineffective presentations. Hopefully this document will spell out

how you can do this properly.

I'd like to thank Prof. Brad Broughton, Technical Communication Department, Clarkson University. He

taught a number of courses on effective presentations and public speaking. I don't always follow his rules, but

I know what they are.

2. Getting Started

Before you even give a presentation, there are a few things you have to do:

Choose a topic.

Submit your topic to a show to LUG. (and get it accepted!)

Create presentation from the topic.

Give the presentation.

Contrary to poular belief, each of these may be as hard as all the others. Choosing a topic for some may be

easy, based on their expertise, whereas a Linux jack−of−all−trades may be stuck choosing a topic. Those

comfortable with public speaking may have trouble designing the slides, and so on.

So let's jump right in and hit all the topics and get you started!
