> In many cases, you can choose your topic based on the area of expertise
|
|
you have. If you're a known (or unknown?) expert on RAID, you can give
|
|
a presentation on RAID. But what do you talk about on RAID? Do you
|
|
talk about the design of the controller drivers under Linux 2.4? Do
|
|
you talk about installing Linux on a RAID device? Case study?
|
|
</P

|
|
> Unfortunately, these are things you'll have to think about and decide
|
|
on your own. Your best bet is to think of a generic enough subject,
|
|
and change it based on your audience (we'll get into this
|
|
later on). If you're talking to a more advanced LUG/USENIX crowd,
|
|
you can give a more advanced presentation, whereas newbie groups can
|
|
get a presentation of what RAID is and how it works. The basic idea
|
|
is to keep the intended audience in mind at all times.
