Lightning talks
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...
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.
