TODO: merge good ideas from DebConf10/Talk_Meister

before the event

• Prepare the talk introduction
  • Name of the speaker
  • What are the activities of the speaker...
  • What is the title of the talk
  • What is the talk about (short intro)

• Test the video with the laptop
• Check that the laptop really has enough batteries (AC recommended)
• The user should test the mic.
• Check the battery led and the RF reception of the speaker mic. If the RF reception indicates less then 3 green bars, replace the battery. Reception should be checked when the microphone is on the stage.

Begining:

• Introduce the speaker (as prepared)
• Remind the audience to wait for the the mic to ask questions

During the event:
