= TALK MEISTER! =
(a noble noble volunteer position)

We need folks to help make sure that talks go smoothly! As talk-meister, your responsibilities are as follows:

== Talk Meister obligations ==

* Let the speaker know they will have 45 minutes available for their talk, so that people (videoteam & attendees) have a moment to breathe and change rooms. '''This is important. All talks are 45 minutes.'''  Show them the time signs before they start so they know what to expect.
* Please tell the speaker that the projectors work best at 1024×768 resolution.
* Introduce the speaker and the event (two or three sentences is fine -- ask them beforehand how to pronounce their name if you aren't sure).
* Provide water to the speaker.
* Recommend the speaker to switch off wireless or use cable to avoid "Connecting to wireless" windows popping up
* Help with the question and answer session: remind the audience that they need to use the microphone because the session is being recorded, call on people, giving them the mic if needed. - Remind them to stand up and say their name.
* Start on time, stop on time.
* Let the speaker know when they have 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 1 minute and 0 minutes left, and '''enforce this'''. There will be time signs in each room.
* If the videoteam needs you to delay the opening of the session because of any difficulties, inform the audience.
* Thank the speaker at the end of the session.
* At the end of your shift, bring the microphones and time signs back to the audio table.
