Sydney Linux Users Group (SLUG)

SLUG's monthly meeting features several talks of varying length.

We're always looking for new talk offers, and talk offers should be sent to activities@slug.org.au and CCed to committee@slug.org.au. If you're not a member of the Activities list, just send it to the Committee. We also suggest that you post your suggestion on our Wiki. You will need to supply us with the following information:

• a title of the talk
• an abstract/summary of the talk to put in our announcement (a few sentences or a paragraph is fine)
• whether the talk is intended to be a General Talk, an In-Depth Talk or a SLUGlet (see below for explanations on what these are)
• at which meeting(s) you are available to deliver your talk

Don't worry if you can't immediately supply these. We can help you through it. We recommend that you use the SLUG Activities list to discuss your content with the community to maximise its relevance and quality.

SLUG talks can be on any topics that would loosely come under the heading of "Open Source Software" or "Free Software". We're open to talks about software, about projects, about features, about tools, and about the Open Source and Free Software movements, and issues surrounding them.

Our membership are primarily hobbyists and professionals, however our meetings are open to the public.

Giving a talk at SLUG would be an excellent way to prepare for more formal speaking situations
