>> To recap, I need from you:
>>
>> (a) the title for your talk, (ppy: need this quickly)
>>
>> (b) an abstract of your talk, (ppy: need this quickly)
>>
>> (c) a link to a recent picture of yours (ppy: I've already got this,

>>
>> (d) a short biographic sketch of yourself (ppy: I've already got this,

>>
>> I'd appreciate if you can send me (a) and (b) above within a day or

>> impending trip). Upon receipt of them, I will build out the
>> session wiki page and announce the event, so that people could
>> mark their calendars and plan to attend.
>>
>> Closer to the time (say, two or three days before your talk, although
>> this is not a hard deadline), please send me:
>>
>> (e) your presentation material* (in pdf, powerpoint, sxi, html,
>> png, jpg or some common electronic format) so that I can post it
>> online for access during the session. (Optionally, you may choose
>> to have that posted a week or so in advance of your talk, or
>> the morning of your session.)
>>
>> During the talk, you will be in control of a shared-screen server
>> (a VNC server) that will allow you to run your presentation
>> slides, a web browser or even other applications (if you do need
>> to run other applications, please provide me with more details
>> because we may need some prior coordination to make it happen).
>> The display screen from the VNC server will be shared by most of
>> the virtual attendees during the event. If you have trouble with
>> the VNC server access, I can always advance slides for you on
>> your prompt.
>>
>> (f) After I receive your presentation material (and if you choose
>> to control your only slides during the session), we will schedule
>> a phone session so that I can walk you through the presentation
>> controls and some of the relevant nuances that our virtual
>> speaker(s) need to be aware of. We should do this while you are
>> at the venue where you plan to be presenting from (e.g. your
>> office, your home, ... etc. because each may present different
>> connectivity issues we would need to tackle). You are also
>> invited to take a look at the hints we have for sessions like
>> this at:
>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpeakerSessionTips
>>
>> For your reference, please feel free to check out the wiki pages
>> of similar recent presentations, which you can access under
>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidZ. They
>> should provide some clues as to the format of our monthly invited
>> speaker events. However, do feel free to conduct your
>> presentation any way you feel like (let me know, though, if you
>> expect it to be quite different, so that I can work on providing
>> the support you need.) We will be creating a wiki page for your
>> session after we have received the above ((a) thru (d) input from
>> you), at which point, you are encouraged to post additional
>> relevant resources (papers, links, references, ... etc.) to
>> support your presentation.
>>
>> Additionally, we will be recording our presentation sessions and
>> make the archived audio file available online, along with the
>> presentation material. May I, on behalf of the Ontolog Forum,
>> request your permission to do so. Please refer to our IPR policy
>> at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32
>> that will be applicable. I will also subscribe you to the
>> [ontolog-forum] mailing list so that you will be kept abreast of
>> the exchanges prior to, and following your presentation. I will
>> assume that these are acceptable to you unless I hear from you
>> otherwise.
>>
>> Once again, thank you very much for agreeing to speak, and to
>> having a dialog with the rest of the Ontolog community. I shall
>> look forward to the event, and to to your continued contribution
>> to Ontolog in the future. Feel free to contact the undersigned if
>> there is any question.
