Page: Instructions for speakers #223

Description

@benabraham

Add a new page with instructions for speakers similar to already existing Instructions for workshop leaders.
It should have a public URL but shouldn't be linked anywhere.

Also it should contain this accessibility tip (shortened if possible):

Speakers, describe what's on your slide
We can't see what a speaker shows on a screen. Therefore, we have to rely on description of potential graphs, pictures or other non-textual content provided by someone else. It can be a speaker or a friend/assistant. I think that speaker is a better choice, because eventual chat between assistant and me could be disturbing for people sitting around us.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't want a speaker to describe exact parameters of a displayed graph or to exactly spell out every line of displayed source code. It is enough to say what is currently shown on a screen and if it is something more complicated, I know that I can investigate it later in downloaded slides if needed.

So my first recommendation for speakers is to try to describe non-textual objects by few sentences if possible. Luckily, most speakers usually do this quite naturally.
