 Lightning Talks

 

Lightning talks are short and efficently run talks that are useful for developers.

 

Timothy Fitz coordinates the talks, contact him at TimothyFitz@gmail.com

 

What Lightning Talks aren't:

  • They're not a place to pitch your company
  • They're not a place to demo your product you think we should all buy
  • They're not a place for recruiting

 

Lightning talks should be interesting to our audience: a bunch of bright people who like to make or break stuff.

 

Lightning talks must fit the following requirements:

 

  1. Talks must be 5 minutes
    1. You will be timed, please watch your timer for hand signals: 4 fingers = 4 minutes remaining, etc
    2. You will be mocked, booed and humiliated if you go over your time.
  2. If your talk has slides, they must in an open format and sent to Tim at least 2 hours before your talk.

    Acceptable formats are:

    1. Another page on the wiki (ideal!)
    2. PDF
    3. Flash
    4. HTML
    5. Text
  3. Talks must be approved by Timothy Fitz at least 2 hours prior to the start of the Lightning Talks.

 

You can the slides from some of the past SuperHappyDevHouses, including 34, 33, 32, and 31.
