### Logistics

- **Presentation:** I usually present interactive demos rather than a fixed slide deck.
- **Laptop:** I use my own Lenovo/Ubuntu laptop via HDMI + USB3. I need it near the podium so I can type.
- **Aspect ratio:** 16:9, 16:10, or 4:3 are fine. Please check that circles appear as circles, not ovals.
- **Internet:** My demos need Internet. Mobile data is a fallback; reliable venue Wi-Fi helps.
- **Security:** I don't carry ID. If venue security requires one, please arrange an escort for me with my phone and laptop.
- **Attire:** I wear round-neck T-shirts, jeans, and open sandals. Please allow this.
- **Badges:** Please print my name on **both sides**, in **large letters**.
- **Agenda:** Please share the agenda and other speakers' sessions so I can attend and adapt my talk to the room.
- **Recording:** Please record video + audio + screen and share it publicly — or at least with me.

### Fee / honorarium

I don't charge or pay a fee for public talks. I only accept dry fruits, [Wikipedia donations](https://donate.wikimedia.org/), or [GitHub donations](https://github.com/open-source/sponsors) as honorarium. Contact me for corporate/private talks. I generally share sanitized recordings publicly.
