Demo Checklist¶

Presenters¶

• If demoing a terminal
  - ensure the font is large (typically 2 shift-ctrl-+)
  - ensure your color and font are readable from arms length to the keyboard as a heuristic
• If demoing a browser
  - when on a widescreen monitor, shrink the browser width to 1300-1400 pixels
  - increase browser zoom if possible (ensure it doesn't break styling)
• If demoing a presentation
  - ensure you hide or remove action bars or do a full screen presentation
• Include initial background on the topic. For example, if demoing an update to the Content Views UI, remind the audience what a content view is and how to get to the starting point of the UI.
• Remember that you are trying to inform users why the change is important for them to know and how they can make use of it.

Moderator¶

• Turn on Q&A application on Hangout page before starting hangout
• Start by introducing what the general theme of the Demo is, and the overall flow, include:
  - What the demo is for
  - When and how questions can be taken (e.g. at the end, after each presenter, using the Q&A app, whether the moderator will read the questions or the presenters)
  - If there is a time limit, mention at the start for the presenters that you will be timing and enforcing
• If possible, add intro slides before each presenter so that the viewers know who to alk to in IRC
