<div dir="ltr">VNC/remote desktop has been known to not capture some full screen applications so we may need to come up with an alternate solution my goal is to find a way where it requires almost no input from the presenter and I do have a capture card that we could theoretically use but I want to make sure the method I use is bulletproof before I waste peoples time with it. </div>

Here is what I started in terms of a presentation information packet.<br>
It still needs work and information. Please help make the document<br>
better. I will try to post a version to the website this week (today?)<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
<br>
Timing<br>
<br>
- We start the meeting with announcements (10-20min).<br>
- We have a 10-15 min break a little before 8pm. If you have a<br>
full presentation slot, please schedule this break into your<br>
presentation.<br>
<br>
<br>
Visuals<br>
<br>
- Please make sure your presentation works at a resolution of<br>
1024x768.<br>
- If you are showing interactive terminal sessions, make sure the<br>
terminal font is large enough -- we recommend [WHAT? 14 point?]<br>
<br>
<br>
Audio<br>
<br>
- Unfortunately, the 97 Victoria presentation space has a LOT of<br>
background noise. People need the speaker system in order to hear.<br>
- We have speaker stands, but no clip-on microphones.<br>
- If you want your laptop to transmit sound through the speaker system<br>
please let us know in advance.<br>
<br>
<br>
Equipment<br>
<br>
We provide the following by default:<br>
<br>
- A screen.<br>
- A projector. This projector has VGA input. It handles a resolution<br>
of [WHAT? 1024x768]<br>
- A speaker system and wired microphones.<br>
- Wired or wireless internet (wired is much more reliable). Not all<br>
ports or protocols may work -- if you have doubts, please contact us<br>
and we can schedule a dry run.<br>
<br>
We may be able to provide other equipment on request. Please make your<br>
request at least a week before the presentation if possible.<br>
<br>
- A DVI to VGA converter.<br>
- A (full-size) HDMI to VGA converter.<br>
- A presentation laptop that can display PDF slides.<br>
<br>
<br>
Recording<br>
<br>
- By default, we record KWLUG presentations and livestream them. If<br>
you wish not to be recorded, please let us know (preferably in<br>
advance).<br>
<br>
- In addition to taping your pretty face, our recording crew likes<br>
transmitting desktop screencasts. To do this they require remote<br>
access to your desktop.<br>
<br>
+ On Ubuntu, you can enable "Remote Desktop" or "Desktop Sharing".<br>

choice is tightvnc.<br>
