Hi all,

Once again, Woolworths have offered to be our hosts for the Sydney 2025 mini at their head office in Bella Vista.We are forever grateful for their generosity.

I anticipate starting the planning sessions for the mini some time in the new year; the number one thing we need is presenters.

Please start to have a think about various topics you could present - you don't have to be an expert; just share what you have learnt.
The session could be
  • a main room plenary session
  • a smaller more niche breakout session
  • or perhaps you want to provoke some thought amongst the attendees by facilitating an open-floor discussion.
Most are usually half an hour or one hour in length.
If you're not a strong public speaker, that's perfectly fine too - personally, I certainly hate doing it too - but the nature of the mini is that everyone chips in and this will help boost your confidence in that area.

Assume we have a clean slate - no presenters locked in - all avenues can be presented on. We have a day and a half to fill.

Some ideas of topics that have been previously considered or presented on (in no particular order):
  • xLights basics / advanced / niche topics (3D/Submodels/States/Sequencing)
  • FPP / xSchedule
  • Controllers (There are some new ones on the market- do you have one?)
  • Panels (FPP & Colorlight)
  • Electronics (Soldering / Power Distribution / Fundamentals)
  • Networking (Basics / WiFi / etc)
  • Troubleshooting
  • Interactivity
  • Sound, Push to Listen & Broadcast
  • Halloween
  • Remote Falcon & Other Cloud Services
  • AI
  • 3D Printing
  • Home Automation Integration
  • Moving Heads
As always, a call to anyone who is doing their first display in 2024 - to present the regular "My First Year" presentation - your accomplishments, learnings, future plans etc

Remember that the mini is community driven - both for you - what do you want to get from it - and by you - what can you offer to others?
