Speaker guide for CNCF & Kubernetes meetups

First off, thank you for volunteering to speak at our meetups! Your contributions are very appreciated, and is what keeps us all moving forward.

Respect the Community

We'd like to remind everybody (especially speakers and sponsors) that these meetups are community events. We're here to discuss problems, ideas, solutions and technical challenges ahead to better understand each other and move forward together. We're not attending meetups to pitch or sell any products, to favor a specific company's solutions, or to talk badly about competitors. This is a good place to say that all our meetups follow the CNCF and The Linux Foundation Code of Conducts.

Before the meetup

  • Apply to speak at a Finnish CNCF & Kubernetes meetup at: https://bit.ly/k8sfin-cfp
  • The organizers will get back to you via email and confirm your speaking slot if it made it into the agenda.
  • Discuss any outstanding questions with the organizer and accept the speaking slot, preferably the title and short abstract shall be available around a week before the meetup.

At the meetup

  • Arrive at least 15 minutes before the meetup starts (most often 6pm)
  • Normal presentation speaking slots are 20-30 minutes, lightning talks around 10 minutes, including Q&A. The venue host presentation is around 5 minutes.
  • Preferably, bring your own laptop. If you don't, let the organizers know in beforehand.
  • (Optional) Bring your company's or favorite project's swag, e.g. stickers to the "swag table".
  • (Optional) Let the organizers know your Twitter handle, and they will tweet about your talk using that. Also, feel free to retweet ;)

After the meetup

  • If you had any specific feedback around how the meetup felt, let the organizers know
  • Please upload your presentation so that it is publicly accessible afterwards, e.g. using Speakerdeck or Google Drive.

Again, thank you for speaking at our meetup!
