Hi @HVbajoria, some feedback for the slides:

While the slides mostly look okay, some of them had too much text that the audience might not have the patience to read.

My recommendation would be to just have those texts as bullet points, since you already have the whole text in the speaker notes section.

PS: I liked the knowledge check slides, makes the talk more interactive.

Hi @HVbajoria, now that we're also celebrating KDE's birthday, it'll be difficult to adjust a 20 min talk in the schedule.

I'd hate however, if your hard work on the slides were to go to waste. So, you can instead present this topic as a crisp 5 min lightning talk, where instead of taking people through the process of installing Jupyter, you just show off some of the lesser known/cool features of Jupyter.

Hey @pulsar17,
Cool! But, I think then I can be a part of the next meetup ✨
Thanks for considering.
