perspective. Please do submit this talk again next year.

>> Code of Conduct
>>
>> We value the participation of each member of the Python community and
>> want all attendees and speakers to have an enjoyable and fulfilling
>> experience.
>>
>> Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our Code of Conduct
>> published at https://us.pycon.org/2019/about/code-of-conduct/
>> <https://us.pycon.org/2018/about/code-of-conduct/>.
>>
>> Your slides and conduct on stage must adhere to the PyCon Code of
>> Conduct. If during the course of your talk any slide, statement, or
>> behavior on stage violates our Code of Conduct the session runner or
>> session chair will alert you. If the violation persists or is a clear
>> breach of the Code of Conduct, your talk may be terminated by the PyCon
>> staff.
>>
>> If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know! You can email
>> ernest at python.org and/or ewa at python.org with any feedback on the Code of
>> Conduct.

>> Sincerely,

>>
>> Live Captioning
>>
>> We are once again providing live captioning for the deaf and hard of
>> hearing at PyCon
>>
>> this year. For the caption writers to do their best work, it helps if they
>>
>> can review your presentation slides ahead of time.
>>
>> (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_access_real-time_translation
>> )
>>
>> Your slides will be used by the real-time closed caption writer to help
>> pre-populate
>>
>> their dictionary with any obscure or technical terms you may be using. If
>> you've
>>
>> selected "Release to SpeakerDeck" a volunteer will also upload your
>> slides to
>>
>> the PyCon SpeakerDeck account after the conference has concluded.
>>
>> If you can, to make it easier on the writers, convert your slides to a
>> PDF file. If
>>
>> your slides were made in a traditional presentation application like
>> Powerpoint, Impress,
>>
>> or Keynote, and saving as PDF doesn't work properly, try to save in
>> Powerpoint format,
>>
>> as the writers mostly use Windows OS.
>>
>> If your presentation is multifile -e.g. an HTML-based presentation,
>> please zip the
>>
>> presentation files and upload the zip file.
>>
>> Once your file(s) are ready to upload, please log into
>> https://us.pycon.org/2019/#!
>>
>> You will find a link to upload your slides on your dashboard.
>>
>> If you have questions, or problems, or need an alternate method to
>> deliver the files, please contact the PyCon Audio Visual team at
>> pycon-av at python.org.

>>
>> Speaker Logistics
>>
>> Critical Information:
>>
>> - Please be in the green room (Room 12 at the Huntington Convention
>> Center) at least 20 minutes before your talk for orientation (if you've
>> spoken before, arriving 10 minutes before your talk is fine).
>>
>> - Please do not go directly to your talk's room! Going directly to your
>> talk checking in at the Green Room will make the session staff sad and
>> anxious.
>>
>> - 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 1920x1080 in 16:9 format.
>>
>> - 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 USB-C,
>> VGA, HDMI, DVI, mini-DVI, and mini-HDMI.
>>
>> - Your runner will help you test your equipment in the Green Room (room
>> 12) 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 by April 26th: pycon-greenroom at python.org
>>
>> Finally, it would be helpful (but not required) if you could add your
>> phone number to your speaker profile:
>> https://us.pycon.org/2019/speaker/edit/
>> <https://us.pycon.org/2018/speaker/edit/> -- this is
>>
>> only accessible to a handful of PyCon staff members, and will only be
>> used if we
>>
>> can't find you before your talk or some other emergency.
>>
>> If you have any questions or concerns (... or compliments?) please don't
>> hesitate
>>
>> to contact us: pycon-greenroom at python.org
>>
>> See you in May!
