a contender for the one of the "next big things".

So you've just finished writing your code-that-will-change-the-world and being the freedom loving pythonista (because all great code is written in python right?) you are, you've put it under the GPL. So what have you just done? Is that the right license? What is a license anyway?

'''LUV-Beginners''' September 20


Title: On Speaking. 
* Software Freedom Day
Electron Workshop in North Melbourne with Free Software Melbourne


You've been to *those* talks.  The kind where the title first drew your attention, the abstract made you go wow, and you were so excited you took a front seat.  Then the speaker went to their first slide and it was so full of text (15 bullet points!) and you just knew they were going to spend the next ten minutes talking about what you've just read in two.  Worse, being up the front, you can't easily leave and it'd be rude to pull out your laptop... Don't be one of those speakers.  No matter how technically brilliant your talk, it's worth nothing at all if you can't keep your audience interested.  This (short) talk will cover a whole bunch of tricks you can use to get your audience's attention and keep it.  Better yet, if you use these ideas there's a good chance people will remember *what* you spoke about and will attend your future talks as well.

Title: On getting your talk accepted.
'''LUV-Main''' October 07


You could be the best speaker in the world, but that's no good if you never get up and try.  There are numerous opportunities to share your wisdom and gain fame, you just have to take advantage of them.  This short talk will give you some feedback on how to make your talk proposal convincing, so you'll find acceptance more easy.

Paul will talk about why he did it, and how it is implemented, including force-directed graphs and the amazing d3 Javascript graphing library.

"Above the line" voting means your favourite political party can choose where preferences will be distributed, and you may not know (or like) their decisions. auprefs is an open source web application to visualise preference distribution in Australian elections, to better inform voters where their vote might go. Paul will talk about why he did it, and how it is implemented, including force-directed graphs and the amazing d3 Javascript graphing library.

Paul Foxworthy is an open source developer whose day job is working on Australianising and customising the Apache OFBiz ERP system. He is a committer to the OFBiz project and also currently serves as a director of Open Source Industry Australia. He is very pleased to have finally done something just possibly cool enough to give a LUV talk.
