#C03S1L9DN is my guess
People who do conferences, do you usually talk about things you do at work or things you do in your time off work?
@cddr: talking about something i’m really excited about seems to work best, sometimes that’s hobby, sometimes work
I really want to do a conference (or even just a meetup talk), but I find it really difficult to find time to deep dive into one topic enough to have any sort of authority on it. Really impressed at people who can do it.
to me that is the prime advantage of speaking on something you’re excited about, because you’re at the height of your knowledge/interest, and the preparation doesn’t feel like work
another maybe helpful thing is, you don’t have to be an authority, you are telling a story… not THE story
(necessarily)
and stories can be told from all kinds of viewpoints, all of which can sound interesting
anyway, my .02. its fun 😸
Seems like good advice. A cddr talk about https://github.com/cddr/crud coming to an SF meetup soon
@cddr: I can't find it... but there are definite stats out there re: open source adoption and doing presentations at meetups and conferences
There was an article recently
