Re: [PyCon-greenroom] PyCon Speaker Information
Hi Jiaqi, I think the Greenroom folks are the ones to ask!

Also, I have a couple of quick questions 1) I have one of the new macbooks which only have USB-C ports.

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?

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!

Yep, we'll be able to make something work. Just come by the green room 20 minutes before your talk to make sure we've got time to make it work :)

Perfect, thanks!

Yep, all the talks will be recorded. See you on the 19th! David
