>> - The Green Room is yours for the duration of the conference. Please feel
>>   free to visit, use it as a quiet space to work on your talk, and make
>> yourself
>>   comfortable here. We're here for you! Light snacks and refreshments
>> will be
>>   available in the Green Room.
>>
>> Technical requirements:
>> - The projectors will operate at a resolution of 1024x768.
>> - Use high contrast colors and a very large font (minimum 24pt),
>> especially for
>>   code samples, which can be hard to read. There are
>> programming-talk-specific
>>   tips here:
>> http://weareallaweso.me/for_speakers/practical-tips-for-creating-great-slides.html
>> - Each podium will have a single power outlet, AV adapters for VGA, HDMI,
>> DVI,
>>   mini-dvi, and mini-hdmi.
>> - Your runner will help you test your equipment in the Green Room (room
>> A109) in
>>   advance of your talk.
>> - If you need special equipment, audio connections, or other
>> accommodations
>>   beyond this (for example, audio out, a demo table, etc), please let us
>>   know: pycon-greenroom at python.org
>>
>> Finally, it would be helpful (but not required) if you could add your
