Part 2 is the outline: problem, move, payoff. Keep it short enough to rehearse on a tram.

If the live cluster fails, beat one and beat three still stand. The outline is the talk; the demo is a prop.
The About layout lists socials from data/socials.toml, then each Markdown file in content/about/ except index.md, sorted by filename. That is why the files are named 10-me.md, 20-details.md, 30-speaking.md.
Add a file, pick a title in front matter, write Markdown. No extra template work.
Alex (still fictional) talks about search, observability, and community. Recurring abstracts live under /talks/templates/. The map at /talks/map/ is built from conference.latitude and conference.longitude on each talk — there is no separate geo database.
If you present in more than one language, set talk-lang on the talk and add a versions entry on the template. The theme renders tabs so you can paste the right abstract into a CFP.
Alex Rivera is a fictional Developer Advocate used only in this example site. The biography, conferences, and co-speaker are invented so you can copy the content shape without copying a real person.
In a real site this section is the first 10-*.md file on the About page: short, first person or third, with the links that do not belong in the nav.
