<div dir="ltr">Hello Chew,<br><br>I sort of serving as a go between here for Dang Thanh Son, the person from NUS who first contacted me via the <a href="http://softwarefreedomday.sg" target="_blank">softwarefreedomday.sg</a> site seeking a speaker. Perhaps it is time we bring him into the loop, as it seems your questions about the audience are best directed to him. He is not on the TUSG mailing list, last I looked. He can be reached at:<br>

<div dir="ltr">hi<br>
I can help with the presentation, including being the speaker if no one
else is available, though you would have to excuse my Singlish
accent, lol.<br>
<br>
But I have these questions:<br>
What type of audience is expected to attend? It is normal NUS students?<br>
What level of Linux or Ubuntu awareness in the audience?<br>
<br>
The specific audience will determine the presentation topic:<br>
Whether it's about introduction to Ubuntu, about Ubuntu background philosophy, who, when, why it was started, etc.<br>
<br>
Or a more practical intro to the desktop, like in Heidir presentation<br>
<br>
Or Wubi and Wine approach. Why switch from Windows to Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
Heidir's presentation will make a good starting point, but for talking to an audience, I
think it would be too dry and people would fall asleep after 10
minutes, especially for an afternoon presentation (no offense). You need
some funny slides, or jokes, some story telling added here and there.<br>
<br>
regards<br>
Chew<br>
