- Brief abstract for the talk (four or five sentences, probably)
- Link to your homepage or preferred website(s)
- A note giving us permission to record and distribute the video under the CC BY-SA license.

- If you're on a Mac, you can record your desktop with QuickTime or using the capture screen functionality(⌘+5)
- If you're on Linux, please install recordMyDesktop.
- If you're on some other Unix, please let us know and we will work to find a reasonable solution.
- We're not sure how to record a good screencast (with audio) on Windows. If you're a Windows user, please come up with a solution that works (and let us know what it is, for future reference)!
- If you're on a Mac and you'd like to display your keystrokes on screen as you type, consider installing Keycastr. It's BSD-licensed!
- Ask for Eric's phone number for emergencies if he forgets to give it to you =)
- Don't move around too much. The camera's watching, so please try to remain in its field of view.
- If you get audience questions, please repeat them into the mic.
