Notes for those presenting or leading a discussion

Technically you have only 25 minutes, as we need 5 minutes for people to exit and enter. Keep your presentations short – say 10 or 15 minutes and spend more time on discussions, Q&A. Post your presentations on Slideshare.net with the tag barcampsg5. If you are running a longer session (or a hack session) book two simultaneous slots.
