As already said in my other blog entry, I am preparing my speech for GLT at the moment. I try to make a talk which also our mums and dads will understand. So I started to think about the structure, and modified it several times over the last weeks. Yesterday I realised that now my presentation is a mixture between Richard's speeches and Georg's speeches and that the structure is nearly the same with the one I started modifying :)
I also again noticed how helpful it is that I have seen a lot of speeches from Georg, Bernhard, and Richard. And that I am able to look at the slides, watch the videos, or read the transcripts. If you have to prepare a speech you can take a look at some audio and video recordings, several transcripts, our speaker faqs, ...
For reading one of my favourites is really the transcript of Richard's talk "The Free Software Movement and the Future of Freedom; March 9th 2006". Everytime I read it I recognise some cool parts in it. And what is also amazing, our translators have translated the transcript into Netherlands and German!!! I think it explains Free Software in a way, you can give it to your mum and dad to read. Perhaps someone out there wants to translate it in other languages as well? ;)
