Sharing Talks and Presentation Materials

[Ryan Riley]

Do any of you have talks, presentations, or other demos suitable for sharing so that others can present at their local UGs and meetups? http://fsharp.org/ has a start on collecting some of these materials suitable for teaching F#/programming, and I'd like to extend that to a wider range of talks. Please feel free to email me directly or send pull requests to the https://github.com/fsharp/fsfoundation project.

Thanks for taking this on, Ryan! Making presentation material available to the community is a great idea, and will help people who want to start presenting.

As it turns out, I just gave a talk / F# dojo a couple days ago, and would love to make the material available for others to use - but this brought up a few questions. I started discussing it with Ryan, who suggested to open that discussion here, and hopefully get input from the community:

Specific questions

1) where should these resources be in FSharp.org?

2) how should the presentation material be made available? Should we have a GitHub "presentations" repo under fsharp?

 

I think it should be in its own section, potentially - maybe something like "Presenting F#", linked from both Community and Teaching? My intuition is that I wouldn't go to the Teaching section to find that type of material, "Teaching" sounds a bit academic / formal, but I might be wrong.
Do you have thoughts on how to store material? Specifically, I am not sure what to do with my slide deck. A SlideShare would work but it doesn't give the ability for a presenter to take the deck and edit / modify it. One option would be to have a repo under fsharp, like Presentations, with code samples and slides / supporting material. Thoughts?

Sorry for the long delay. I had planned on adding things at the bottom of the /teaching page, under http://fsharp.org/teaching/index.html#lectures_and_course_material. Thoughts? They include blurbs about the training there and link the title to the material.

Bonjour Monsieur Riley!
Saw your note on F# open source regarding a section in fsharp.org for presentation material. Once I clean up my material from the Dojo on Tuesday, I think this might make good material. Do you plan to have a dedicated page / section for that? I think for the Dojo case, I would do something like
* Blurb to promote the talk
* Suggestions for the presenter / organizer
* Link to slide deck on SlideShare?
* Gist for the "tutorial script" I prepared.
* Possibly one "solved" dojo code, so that the organizer can make sure they understand.
I assume SlideShare would be better than the raw pptx slides (less space consuming), but then, people can't edit them. Alternatively, I could upload the slide deck somewhere (I have the datasets on an Azure blob already, that would work, too). [maybe we should actually have a blob storage for fsharp.org...]
Let me know your thoughts or if you have questions! BTW a rough cut of the slides, and the tutorial script, are here, in case you are interested in taking a look already:

Hi all,

I think sharing talk materials would be great – the audience for this are mainly other advanced F# users who want to give a talk to others – so perhaps it does not need to be as prominently visible on fsharp.org, but it would be great to have it somewhere ("Teaching F#" is mainly academic page while "Learning F#" is the place to go to learn F#... perhaps a new sub-page under Community would make the most sense for this?)

 

Most of my talk materials are available here: https://github.com/tpetricek/Documents but the quality varies. Most have raw PPTX slides & some form of code sample, but not all code samples are as polished as they could be…

Hi Tomas,

I've found great inspiration in some of your material for how to present topics to coworkers. I was also planning to use your agent based image processing pipeline example from the Parallel patterns repository on codeplex in my talk at NDC, would that be alright by you?

Best regards

Simon

If anybody feels like running a hands-on F# type provider tutorial at their user group ;-), here are materials that we used at the London meetup and at the Progressive .NET tutorials (with Don):
