Community Tech Speakers

Dietrich was kind enough to describe the Mozilla Tech Speakers program he created and ran, where the people around the world already promoting Mozilla/ Firefox / etc got support to give talks.

Presenting is a two-sided process, where you should be comfortable with what you are saying (and how you’re saying it), on one side, and where your audience should be able to follow along and understand your message, on the other.
