Kickstarting Volunteers: Getting stuff done with nothing
The first talk on at the Shopfront was mine. I
made a deliberate decision to go first for a number of reasons: Get it over with; I was ready; I wanted the rest of the day to listen to the other talks.
I chose to read the talk from the world lightest, thinest laptop - no cables required. In other words I read it from paper. Why? Well when everyone goes Hi-tech, I go Lo-tech. All I need is a bit of paper, some light. I don't even need an audience.
I made the short title up straight away to let everyone know an immediate application of the talk. Easy to understand and say.
I started by going down to the Shopfront, picked a spot in the light, marked out my standpoint - I tend to walk when I talk so placing 2 markers either side keeps me in 1 spot. Had a chat to a few people who came down first. Then talked.
I'd timed the talk over about 5 times in practice to make sure it was < 20 minutes. It was about 15 minutes in all.
The images you see here are by @dan who really did a great job transcribing my major points into pictures. I didn't realise he'd done this till lunchtime till I started taking shots upstairs. Thanks Dan.
I first read out some keywords on what the talk was about, some quick concepts then read the talk.
The intro explaining what the talk is about.
