Do I need to be an expert to attend?

Nope. In fact, bring your friends.

Do I need to be an expert to talk?

Nope. This meetup is supposed to be fun and casual, so we want everyone to participate.

What kind of talks are you looking for?

Generally, all talks are welcome. However, the balance we try to meet is:

• 2x Creative Talks: Creative applications of programming, e.g. building a web MIDI Player.
• 1x Passion Talk: Something you’re excited about outside of work, e.g. maintaining the linux kernel.
• 1x Technical Talk: A deep dive on a technical topic, e.g. optimizing your code for the V8 engine.

How do I submit a talk?

1. Comment on the current open Call for Speakers issue.
2. Promote your talk on twitter. Include link to your comment.
3. Use hashtags: #forloop, #forlooptanzania, #tanzania, #speaking.

How long should my talk be?

Ten minutes. There won’t be any formal Q&A; we encourage attendees to ask questions in person later. We also try to introduce you well enough so you can speed through any self-bio slides.

What should be in my talk submission?

Just a few sentences describing what you want to talk about would be great.

What happens after I submit my talk?

We will follow up with you via email! It may take a few days.

What’s the A/V situation?

We’ll have HDMI to plug into (for video and audio) and a mic for you to use. Let us know if you need any fancy adapters (we’ll have some Apple ones).

Do I need to submit my slides beforehand?

Nope, but please show up at least 1 hour before your talk.
