<p>intro bit</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;I don&#039;t know why I&#039;m here&quot;&#039;&#039;&#039; -- the scourge of the programming department.<br /> <br /> <br /> If you are planning [[Programming]], one of the [[Programming - Things to Consider | things to consider]] is how to avoid ending up with panelists on panels who say they don&#039;t know why they&#039;re there, which is really just shorthand for &quot;I don&#039;t think I have anything to say on this topic and the programming person either knows nothing about me, thought I was someone else, or was smoking something really fun when they put together the program.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> There are two steps for planning your program that can help avoid this problem:<br /> <br /> # Do a good job matching panelists to topics<br /> # Write a nice [[Panel Blurb]] that clarifies what the panel is about while also making it sound like a damn fine panel to be on.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Programming]]</div>
