What problem does this solve?
[edit]Also, some previous research into the type of the audience helped me to customize my talk accordingly. For FOSSASIA, below are the insights into the audience diversity:
- Not everyone is from a tech background
- There are various native speakers of several languages
- The talks have an audience strength of around 40 people on an average
- The audience has many students too (who are willing to take the opportunity of involving themselves with open source)
What is the solution?
[edit]Keeping these points in mind, I had planned on moving ahead with discussing the extension with focus on:
- basic key idea
- motivation
- how was it created
- challenges faced
- future work
- explain steps for installing the extension
- a slide showing all the links to relevant webpages
- questions- 2-3 mins
In short, for a conference like FOSSASIA, it's better to not get into lots of technicality - since people are not prepared and not all are from tech background. it's better to rather discuss the idea behind the project.
