Present a Lunch and Learn edit
Here is the emergent process for scheduling a lunch and learn.
- Check your calendar, you should have a standing Lunch and Learn invite every 2 weeks
- Find the next calendar event that does not have a speaker
- Add the date to this page, along with your name and the subject of your lunch and learn
- Modify the calendar event with information about your talk — your name, the title of your talk, and a link to your slides (if there are any)
- Store slides in the shared
Engineering Productivity/Lunch and Learnfolder on Google drive OR post them publicly on the internet or on wiki and link them from this page.
