I'm someone who once *HATED* and *DREADED* public speaking and used
[abused?] a LUG in order to get over that problem (it is actually a
pretty important 'life skill' apparently).  I can tell you that if
speaking makes you squeemish barcamp is a great place to start;
everyone is in a good mood and I have yet to witness any hostile or
derisive behavior from anyone.  Everyone is peers at barcamp and the
"presenter" is really just facilitating some topic for a short period of
time.

Old threads never die, they just get archived.
