Lightning talks
Description and rules: a lightning talk is a ten minute or less quick presentation of a project (including unfinished projects), ideas, or product. A talk should generally take 7 minutes or less and leave two or three for quick questions; more extensive questions can be addressed informally and one-on-one at the end of the session.
Lightning talks provide an intensive and fun way to see a number of presentations in a short period of time. In the seven minutes provided you should be able to describe your topic, explain the key details, and give your listeners a sense of why it's interesting. Lightning talks are not arranged thematically though if there are a large number of related talks, for instance on technical topics, they may be grouped together.
There will be a projector available, though please consider carefully whether you'll need it due to the short time available.
There will be two sessions. Sign up below. Please list your name, title of the presentation, and if desired, a link to more information (can be placed on a userpage). First come, first served...
