Getting StartedBefore you even give a presentation, there are a few things you have valium dosage to do: * Choose a topic. * Submit your topic to a show to LUG. (and get it accepted!) * Create presentation from t valium dosage e topic. * Give the presentation. Contrary to poular belief, each of these may be as hard as all the others.Choosing valium dosage topic for some may be easy, based on their expertise, whereas aLinux jack-of-all-trades may be stuck choosing a topic. Tho valium dosage e comfortablewith public speaking may have trouble designing the slides, and so on.So let's jump right in and hit all the t valium dosage pics and get you started!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Choosing a topicIn valium dosage many cases, you can choose your topic based on the area of expertise youhave. If you're a known (or unknown?) expert on RAI valium dosage , you can give apresentation on RAID. But what do you talk about on RAID? Do you talk aboutthe design of the controller dri valium dosage ers under Linux 2.4? Do you talk aboutinstalling Linux on a RAID device? Case study?Unfortunately, these are things you'll valium dosage ave to think about and decide on yourown. Your best bet is to think of a generic enough subject, and change itbased on your valium dosage audience (we'll get into this later on). If you're talking to amore advanced LUG/USENIX crowd, you can give a more advanced valium dosage presentation,whereas newbie groups can get a presentation of what RAID is and how itworks. The basic idea is to keep the in valium dosage ended audience in mind at all times.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Submitt valium dosage ng your topicOnce you have the basic idea of what you want to present, you have to get itaccepted by groups and get the opp valium dosage rtunity to show it. Your best line ofstrategy is to start off giving your intended presentation to a local LUG andlet them valium dosage ritique it. Audience feedback is cruicial, especially if you havenot done a presentation before.So what's the secret for ta valium dosage king to a LUG? In many cases, just offer. LUGslike to have speakers for each meeting to give a reason to get together otherthan go for a beer after the meeting.In terms of conferences that you would like to attend, check the majorconferences and expos out there. Many are listed at Linux web sites, somesend out a call for papers (CFP) to approprate discussion lists, like . Many will have either an e-mail CFP, or haveyou fill out a web form.The author cannot comment on what papers are accepted or declined, mostlybecause I don't know how it works. The best I can say is to see what topicshave been selected in the past and tailor your abstract that way.Assuming your presentation has been selected, try and get some informationabout the location, dates, time, and so on. This will have a lot of bearingon how your pr
