Speaker Guidelines:
---------------------------------
1. Presentations should be 30~90 minutes in length.  Length of 120
minutes for advanced topics is allowed,  but please notify the program
director of your intention to run long.
2. There is typically time after the presentation proper for one on one 
conversations with members of the audience.  The meetings close around
9:15 - 9:30pm.
3. KLUG can provide an SVGA projector that works with most computers.  
The projectors native resolution is 800x600x16bit,  but it will work,
with some negligable loss of quality, at 1024x768.  We have had very
good luck with compatibility but we cannot GUARANTEE compatibility.
4. Please consider that the meeting room is quite large,  if your going
to display text/examples, please plan ahead to use a LARGE and CRISP
font.
5. Presenters should provide a title, one paragraph bio, and one
paragraph topic description for inclusion on the KLUG schedule page. 
Please provide these in plain text.
6. It is appreciated when presenters can provide their presentations (in
some open format), notes, or other content for inclusion on the KLUG
past presentations page.
7. Internet access is available, both RJ-45 and wireless, at the
facility. But KLUG cannot guarantee it's functionality at any given
time.  Presenters are advised to avoid reliance on external resources
when possible.
