a test run to a friend or SO. This lets you know how well

the flow of the presentation is, plus may give ideas for improvement.

to large groups, the first few times you do this it may seem unnerving.
|
|
As I mentioned earlier, it may be easier to start with your local LUG
|
|
and get used to talking to groups of people - the local LUG will be
|
|
filled with a friendly audience and you will be more at ease.
