Ubuntu OnAir best practices (some of it can also be found at wiki.ubuntu.com/OnAir/BestPractices)
---------------------------
 * 1h sessions (30 mins would be too short for hangouts, considering the time to switch presenters)
   * 5 minutes intro
   * 40 mins talk
   * 15 minutes to change speakers
 * Careful with connectivity (suggested to have a backup connection)
 * Brief and pick speakers carefully to fill the session and are experienced with running sessions

Other events (dates subject to change):
 * UDW (30 Jan to 1st Feb)
 * UOW (22nd to 24th May)

UADW on air
 * 1h sessions
 * 3 days
 * 5 sessions per day (15 sessions total)

The host sets up the hangout, invites speakers:
 * They need them to add UbuntuOnAir to G+, IRC nick, e-mails
 * Bots are set up for #ubuntu-classroom-chat
 * Webchat is embedded to ubuntuonair.com, so that folks can ask questions.
 * The host needs to have a set of questions to fill the session if it ends up being excessively short.
 * The host holds a separate hangout per session, so that we've got single videos to link to the timetable

 * Tips for presenters:
 * Check your background
 * Check your lights
 * Check your cam and mic

Topic list (available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAppDeveloperWeek/Prep):
 * How the ARB do reviews
 * Introduction to Quickly
 * Common guidelines for app submissions
 * Dash and Launcher integration
