Had a great time doing an Ignite talk at #DevOpsDays London today about dependency-management-data - come say hey, there's so much more to it than I could squeeze into 5 minutes!
I've got a good getting started guide and a long-form post if you want a bit more depth
There are many good reasons to not go to every talk possible when attending conferences. However increasingly it became hip to boast about avoiding going to talks – encouraging others to follow suit. As a speaker, that rubs me the wrong way and I’ll try to explain why.
Very excited to be speaking at #TechMids2023 on October 20th about Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software, where we'll look at how you can get a better view of your organisation's Open Source and internal dependency usage using dependency-management-data 🎉

What's your personal minimal acceptable lead time for a conference talk? If you submit a talk proposal, and it's accepted, then you'd expect to be notified of that acceptance some time prior to your talk, so you can prepare and rehearse well and sort work and travel around the conference. What's that minimum time for you? (Boosts would be nice, thanks!) [ ] 2 weeks [ ] 4 weeks [ ] 6 weeks [ ] 8 weeks or longer

Attached: 1 image Great #IndieWeb talk today from @salt@social.coop. Topics I keep thinking about for myself (but really need to find the time to take action on). #FOSSY #OpenSource
This evening I've been putting the finishing touches on a preview of my talk Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software coming to DevOpsNotts at the end of July for my colleagues at #Deliveroo tomorrow, and still appreciating the tip I got at the DDD East Midlands speaker workshop to write the content before the slides, as it's made it a breeze to construct slides based on a long form blog post!
Very excited to be talking at DevOpsNotts at the end of July about a project very close to my heart recently - dependency-management-data - in a new talk, Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software, where we'll look at how you can get a better view of your organisation's Open Source and internal dependency usage.

Me too 👀 made good use of a train to London to get some abstracts together, let's see how they're received.
Whatever happens, there'll still be a blog post to TL;DW what would've been the talk
I've just submitted a couple talk proposals to @dddem@mastodon.me.uk 🎉 Y'all should totally submit too! It's an awesome conference run my truly wonderful humans! 💙 https://sessionize.com/ddd-east-midlands-conference-2023/
So.. do I submit talks? 👀

Every so often, I come across some conference talk which is highly interesting in terms of its actual contents, but which unfortunately is presented in a less than ideal way. I’m thinking of basic mistakes here, such as the presenter primarily looking at their slides rather than at the audience. I’m always feeling a bit sorry when this happens, as I firmly believe that everyone can do good and even great talks, just by being aware of — and thus avoiding — a few common mistakes, and sticking to some simple principles.
It's conference season again, so you may be preparing a talk with code snippets. Please remember -- MAKE THE FONT SIZE UNCOMFORTABLY LARGE FOR YOU Your audience will appreciate being able to read it. 👀 And... High contrast between background & text colors ◼️◻️🟨Ben Greenberg (@RabbiGreenberg)Tue, 29 Mar 2022 06:32 +0000

Having done a couple of online talks, this sounds like a great tip - it's unnerving talking to yourself/your slides with no audience feedback at all.

Great tip for presenting remotely that I learned from a couple of our #DesignOps Summit speakers: FaceTime with a trusted friend or mentor while presenting. (Muted, of course.) Presenting to one person is more conversational and natural—especially a person you know and trust.Louis Rosenfeld (@louisrosenfeld)Mon, 09 Nov 2020 15:52 GMT

FYI, I help run a meetup and have spoken (virtually) at meetups around the world. IME 90% of meetup organizers are thrilled to have someone reach out. They're volunteers, so it can take some time to connect, but they want your talk! I wrote more here: letterstoanewdeveloper.com/2021/12/06/spe…Post details
If you really want to learn a new technology, sign up to give a presentation about it at a meetup.

Feeling the urge for a #PayToSpeak rant. But I'm going to resist. Instead I'll plea. Folks please only support events where you know the speakers are being looked after and compensated for their time.
