| Monthly Meetup

Preparation
* If there's time prepare an intro in advance with a little bit of knowledge about the topic
* Check the agenda for topics for later, maybe pull some things from the forum or other places
* Find out who is presenting and what their name(s) are. Often people don't introduce themselves or the project clearly at the beginning.

Just before the recording
# Check someone is ready to make the video(s)
# If this is your first time introduce OSArch briefly using the website.
# Ask for someone to take notes for a follow up post.
# Mention that it's public etc.
# Mention turning on camera when you ask a question, keeping mics turned off.

Request the recording start - wait for confirmation

Presentation

OSArch Monthly Meeting
Preparation
* What are their names?
* What will they be talking about?
* How long do they want to talk?
* Get a list of links to their projects

Pre-recording
* Quick run through of who we are and what our resources are

OSArch blurb
Welcome everyone who's joining us today to hear about what's happening in the world of Free/Libre & OpenSource for the field of architecture, engineering, construction and building maintenance.

Today we have a presentation about xxx by xxx.
# Give a very quick presentation of the person and the project
# go for it
# note down some questions - you'll need at least three to fill the silence between other peoples questions.
(examples of questions topic: funding, real-world applications, team size, plans for the future, suggestions for collaboration ...)

Questions time
# Remind people that we'll stop on the hour. 
# Ask that people turn on their camera if they can when they ask their question
# Keep an eye on those raised hands - they're not very big

Be clear about when we are finished so the it's clear where the video stops.
