How to set up TeamSpeak.
TeamSpeak is available for Windows and Linux. You can get a free
download at the link on the right. If you are using a Mac, my
recommendation is: Don't bother. There is an unofficial
version, but I would not ask anyone to use that. |
TeamSpeak2 -- Download and install. |
How to link TeamSpeak for the TCF presentation.
Initial Setup:
Open TeamSpeak.
Select Connection>Quick connect.
Enter the server address -- I will give you that in private
communication. You must use quick connect
Enter your nickname. Use your SL first name.Go to
settings>Sound Settings. Select push to talk and press
Set When the little window tells you
to press a key, press the right alt key. That key then becomes your push
to talk key.
Be sure you are using headphones, not your speakers.
That's all you can do until we are having a conference.
I will contact you inworld or by e-mail to arrange a TeamSpeak meetings about presentations. |

General plan for co-presenters interview
Just think over these questions. Don't do a lot of
planningThinkerer will bring the audience to your location and
introduce you. Thinkerer will interview you to bring out things of
interest, like these: >>Where you live in RL
(geographic diversity)>>Professional/employment background (Computer-related? Far from computers?).
>>Main interest in SL (Here promote what you do. Focus on one
important thing that you can show and describe concretely. Don't
make a Power Point list.) >>Employment in SL? If yes: Employer, job description.
>>Do you find SL to be socially isolating? (You are allow to laugh
here, but please delete the first expletive that comes to mind.)
>>What else should I have asked?
The interview location will probably be the place of your main
interest. Don't just talk about it. Walk around in it.
Demonstrate.
To point out things, put flags on them (I use a small red flexiprim).
If it seems useful, build something on the spot.
Invite the audience to drop by during -- or after - the festival. |

Presenters-- I hope you will join in
the
Second Life Open House for TCF Guests
Here's how:
1. Get people who know what you are doing to hang around your site
during much of the weekend.
2. Display the TCF banners, signs, and/or badges. I have one
sign that you can size up for a big display or size down for a badge or
personal sign. I will be sending them out to people, but feel free
to ask. Or drop by TQ or Hobo Village (Calleta) and take a copy. |
Probable avitar actors
Not using TeamSpeak, but possibly running sounds, songs, and
funny expressions in SL. The "Yiffee!" is an apt
expression here.Luna Idler, Chief Avatar Wrangler

song.)
