Helping presenters deliver strong community-oriented content

[TheFoxAtWork]

Description: We're receiving more first time presenters at Cloud Native events such as KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, however many of them may not be aware of how to make a strong content that reaches their audience.

Request: The KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Co-Chairs would like to ask TAG Contributor Strategy to pull together content that we can send to accepted speakers to coach and direct them on the Do's and Don't of a good presentation.

Deliverables: We'd like to have this in place (7/22/2022) before the CFP acceptance emails go out so we can share with everyone first. So this can be a brief 'blog'-like post initially but we would also love a short, fun video posted to YouTube that we can share with speakers (can be done at a later date).

Some topic areas it should cover:

• Content matches the abstract
• Practice
• Coordinate with your co-speaker(s), know who is speaking on what and who is running a demo for clean hand offs
• Don't sell a product
• Leave time for Q&A
• Check the font size on your command line, it needs to be BIG
• Live demos don't always work, have a back up
• Arrive early to test the tech and audio hookups

Why TAG - Contributor Strategy? Presentations are a form of contribution to the community and provide valuable content to future potential contributors. Additionally, supporting others to deliver meaningful content fits will with Mentoring, another aspect that led us to asking TAG - Contributor Strategy if they can complete this for us.

This issue is 12 months old, but definitely still valid.

@nikhita - I recall some brief material that was pulled together through CNCF Events to support presenters on understanding this. Is that still around/available to bootstrap this?
