Hi Jiaqi,
I think the Greenroom folks are the ones to ask!
Regards,
Ned

Hi Ned,
I was able to update my speaker profile on the website and change my bio -
thanks!
Also, I have a couple of quick questions
1) I have one of the new macbooks which only have USB-C ports. I will be
bringing my own USB-C to HDMI and USB-C to VGA converters just to be safe
but even so I've seen people with USB-C ports have trouble with connecting
to projection screens (something to do with OSX security standards). I'm
hoping nothing goes wrong but in the event that my computer can't connect,
will there be a backup loaner laptop for speakers I can use?
2) I'm thinking of using ipython notebook as a presentation method - I'll
be sure to zip it in html/pdf form and upload it.
3) Forgive me if you've already mentioned this, but will talks be recorded?
Looking forward to pycon!
Best,
Jiaqi

Hello PyCon Speaker!
PyCon is almost upon us! In order to make sure your time at PyCon as
a speaker is as smooth and enjoyable as possible, we have some
organizational
messages for you from the Captioning Coordinator and the Session Staff
Chairs.
PLEASE READ THIS OVER CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO US WITH ANY QUESTIONS!
WE LOVE QUESTIONS!
Good luck with the final polishes to your talks and slides, and we look
forward to
seeing all of you in Portland in a few short weeks!
Regards,
Ned Jackson Lovely
Program Committee Chair

We are doing live captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing at PyCon
again
this year. For the caption writers to do their best work, it helps if they
can
review your presentation ahead of time so they can populate their
dictionary
with any obscure or technical terms you may use.
Please upload your slides - even if they are incomplete! - at least 48
hours
before your talk:
Upload your (incomplete) slides for the captioner:
https://us.pycon.org/2017/slides
Username/password:
greenroom / portland2017
Additionally, if you select "Release to SpeakerDeck" a volunteer will
upload
your slides directly into the PyCon SpeakerDeck account.
Please convert your slides to PDF before uploading to ensure that the
cautioners can open them.
If your presentation is multi-file-e.g. an html-based presentation, please
zip
the presentation files and upload the zip file.
Feel free to upload multiple revisions. The most recent version will be
sent to
the captioner.
Again, the please upload your slides here:
https://us.pycon.org/2017/slides
With the username / password:
greenroom / portland2017
If you have questions, or problems, or need an alternate method to deliver
the files, please contact the PyCon Audio Visual team at
pycon-av@python.org.

Critical Information:
- Please be in the green room (room A109) at least 20 minutes before your
talk for orientation (if you've spoken before, arriving 10 minutes
before your
talk is fine).
- Please do not go directly to your talk's room! Going directly to your
talk room
without checking in at the Green Room will make the session staff sad.
- The Green Room is yours for the duration of the conference. Please feel
free to visit, use it as a quiet space to work on your talk, and make
yourself
comfortable here. We're here for you! Light snacks and refreshments will
be
available in the Green Room.
Technical requirements:
- The projectors will operate at a resolution of 1024x768.
- Use high contrast colors and a very large font (minimum 24pt),
especially for
code samples, which can be hard to read. There are
programming-talk-specific
tips here: http://weareallaweso.me/for_speakers/practical-tips-for-crea
ting-great-slides.html
- Each podium will have a single power outlet, AV adapters for VGA, HDMI,
DVI,
mini-dvi, and mini-hdmi.
- Your runner will help you test your equipment in the Green Room (room
A109) in
advance of your talk.
- If you need special equipment, audio connections, or other accommodations
beyond this (for example, audio out, a demo table, etc), please let us
know: pycon-greenroom@python.org
Finally, it would be helpful (but not required) if you could add your phone
number to your speaker profile: https://us.pycon.org/2017/profile/edit/
-- this is
only accessible to a handful of PyCon staff members, and will only be used
if we
can't find you before your talk or some other emergency.
If you have any questions or concerns (... or compliments?) please don't
hesitate
to contact us: pycon-greenroom@python.org
See you on the 19th!
