Man! I'd love to go ride in a balloon and give a talk but Auckland is so
close to half way around the world....

Thanks, Luis! And for Tyler or anyone else on this
list who has the same
questions:
Sometimes I come up with a talk idea by asking myself, "What do I know
now that I wish I'd known a year ago?" This is a way to think about what
you've learned that a lot of other people don't know as well as you.
That's basically how I thought of "A Few Python Tips". To practice it in
front of a small crowd first, I'm doing a tech talk this Thursday:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meetings/2014-06-19 before I talk next
week at Open Source Bridge.
To give a Wikimedia tech talk about your topic:

And, just like with submitting patches, don't reject *yourself* before
the conference organizers have a chance to. ;-)

I’ve always wanted to submit a cool MediaWiki
talk to these conferences,
but I have no idea what I’d talk about (or whether I’m even experienced
enough to talk about anything at a conference).
The answer to that second part is "yes" :) LCA is not TED :) Background
on
their speaker selection process and what makes
for a good submission
(useful for any conference, not just LCA):

Are there any guidelines on what would make a
good talk?
