# Demo Presenter Notes 

 

 Presentations are 5 min or less video of something accomplished that affects Pulp, a pulp Plugin, or the Pulp community. Presenters can be anyone from the community. 

 

 ## Deciding to present 

 

 There is a call for presenters sent to the pulp-dev@redhat.com email address whenever a demo is being organized. It has instructions on how to signup which is putting your name, nick, and title onto an etherpad. 

 

 All presentations are pre-recorded 

 

 ## Demo length 

 

 All videos must be under 5 minutes. The ideal demo length being about 3 - 4 minutes based on the [Wistia report](https://wistia.com/blog/does-length-matter-it-does-for-video-2k12-edition). 

 

 ## Recording a Video 

 

 Typically a tool like [simplescreenrecorder](http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/) or [recordmydesktop](http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php) is used to record both audio and video at the same time. [OpenBroadcasterSoftware](https://obsproject.com/) is also a good choice, but more heavyweight and fully featured than those two. Whatever you use, make sure that you: 

 

 1\. Increase the font! Whatever you think is readable, make it a lot bigger.   
   
 2\. Check your audio level. We can't fix audio that is recorded too soft or too loud when we playback the video. 

 

 ## Testing your Video 

 

 All video playback happens in Firefox. Ensure that a normal Firefox browser can natively play your video. 

 

 ## Sending your video: 

 

 1\. Come up with a title that is 50 chars or less.   
   
 2\. Come up with a description. It can be one or more paragraphs.   
   
 3\. Send the recorded video as an attachment, the title, and the description to dawalker@redhat.com. Alternatively, you can send a link to download the video file from. By submitting a video you are acknowledging you are the copyright owner of that video content and you agree to grant Pulp the right to broadcast and playback that content. 

 ## Short ASCII demos 

 ASCII demos (recorded with asciinema) can be a great eye catcher in blog posts. 
 In order to automate and properly anonymise their generation, you can add to the [saftladen](https://github.com/mdellweg/saftladen) repository. 
 The asciicasts enerated there can be uploaded to [asciinema](https://asciinema.org/) to be embedded in any kind of web content.
