How to prepare and deliver a good presentation
How to prepare and deliver a good presentationLong Hoàng This document provides guidance on how to prepare and deliver an effective presentation. It discusses four main principles: being well-prepared by planning content and structure and rehearsing; focusing on engaging the audience rather than relying on slides; creating concise and visually appealing slides to support the speech; and maintaining audience interest by speaking dynamically. The document also outlines dos and don'ts for speakers, speeches, and slideshows to help presenters succeed.
Conclusion
ConclusionVal Bello The conclusion serves two main purposes: 1) to signal to the audience that the speech is ending and 2) to reinforce the central idea of the speech. Effective conclusions use vocal cues like "in conclusion" to indicate the ending and build momentum so the ending is clear. The conclusion should summarize the main points, end with an impactful statement, and refer back to the introduction to give the speech unity. Speakers should prepare different potential conclusions and choose the one with the most impact.

Building Network Functions with eBPF & BCC
Building Network Functions with eBPF & BCCKernel TLV eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is an in-kernel virtual machine that allows running user-supplied sandboxed programs inside of the kernel. It is especially well-suited to network programs and it's possible to write programs that filter traffic, classify traffic and perform high-performance custom packet processing.
BCC (BPF Compiler Collection) is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs. It makes use of eBPF.
BCC provides an end-to-end workflow for developing eBPF programs and supplies Python bindings, making eBPF programs much easier to write.
Together, eBPF and BCC allow you to develop and deploy network functions safely and easily, focusing on your application logic (instead of kernel datapath integration).
In this session, we will introduce eBPF and BCC, explain how to implement a network function using BCC, discuss some real-life use-cases and show a live demonstration of the technology.

SGX Trusted Execution Environment
SGX Trusted Execution EnvironmentKernel TLV Intel trusted execution environment, SGX, offers an attractive solution for protecting one's private data in the public cloud environment, even in the presence of a malicious OS or VMM.
In this talk, we will:
* explore how SGX mitigates various attack surfaces and the caveats of naively using the technology to protect applications,
* discuss the performance implications of SGX on common applications and understand the new bottlenecks created by SGX, which may lead to a 5X performance degradation.
* describe an optimized SGX interface, HotCalls, that provides a 13-27x speedup compared to the built-in mechanism supplied by the SGX SDK.
* discuss how it is possible for the OS to manage secure memory without having access to it.
* explore various attack surfaces and published attacks which require collusion with the OS. Specifically, page-fault and page-fault-less “controlled channel attacks”, branch-shadowing attacks and potential mitigations.

THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF WOMAN AT WORKPLACE (PREVENTION, PROHIBITION & REDRES...
THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF WOMAN AT WORKPLACE (PREVENTION, PROHIBITION & REDRES...ASHISHKUMAR504404 Article 11 of the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination (CEDAW) to which India is a party requires it to take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in the field of employment. Equality in employment can be seriously impaired when women are subjected too gender specific violence such as Sexual Harassment at Workplace.
Article 21 of the Constitution which is related to a right to life and personal liberty, includes the right to live with dignity, and in the case of women, it means that they must be treated with due respect, decency and dignity at workplace. With more and more women joining the workforce, both in organized and unorganized sectors, ensuring and enabling working environment for women through legislation became imperative. To achieve this objective the sexual harassment of women at workplace bill was introduce in the Parliament, and was passed by both the house of Parliament and received the assent of the President on 22nd April 2013 It came in to force on 09.12.2013.
It is to provide for safe, secure and enabling environment to every women irrespective of her age or employment status by fixing the responsibility on the employer as well as the District Magistrate (D.M) or (A.D.M) of every district in the state as a District Officer and laying down the statutory redressal mechanism.

KernelTLV Speaker Guidelines
- 1. Hi! Thanks for choosing to speak at a KernelTLV session. We’d like to share with you a few guidelines we use to produce high-quality meetups and talks. If you have any questions, please talk to Kfir Gollan, Gil Yankovitch or Ido Ben-Yair on Facebook or send a private message to our Facebook page.
- 2. Before the meetup ● Write a paragraph that describes your talk. We’ll use it to generate interest. ● Feel free to include a bullet list of the topics your talk will cover. ● Prepare a short bio for yourself. Feel free to list credentials such as positions you’ve held (or still hold), relevant degrees you’ve earned, even cool side-projects and hobbies. People want to know who you are. ● The texts should be in English. ● Send us a copy of your slide deck for review. It doesn’t have to be the final version. We want to make sure we’re giving engaging and relevant talks. ● English works best for technical talks, but you don’t have to give the talk in English. ● Most speakers write the slide deck in English but speak Hebrew.
- 3. The slide deck ● Try to go over what you’re planning to talk about at the beginning and list the main takeaways at the end. ● Tell a story. ● Try not to read out of your slide deck. Use it as a guide. Support the points you are trying to make with charts, images and code snippets. It shouldn’t read like an article. ● Lots of code looks tiny and unreadable on the big screen. Show only the most important parts. ● The ideal talk contains enough detail to be engaging but not so much that it becomes exhausting. It’s not a lecture. ● Speaker notes help.
- 4. During the talk ● Speak loudly, clearly and slowly. ● Look at the audience, but don’t stare at a specific person. ● Everyone gets nervous when giving a talk. ● Please leave time for questions at the end. ● People usually approach you with questions after the talk. ● Try to have fun!
- 5. After the meetup ● Please share the slide deck with us. We like to publish the decks on SlideShare. ● Sometimes we record a video of the event to publish on our YouTube channel. If you don’t want us to shoot the video, let us know. ● Links to events, decks and videos are published on our Facebook page, Facebook group, meetup.com page, kerneltlv.com website, and other places on the web.
