Lightning Talk Signup
Lightning Talks were very successful at the JA-Sig Unconference and so we are hosting them at the UCamp. Lightning Talks are short 10 minutes or less talks with or without slides. You discuss a topic of interest to you that you want to share with the community.
How do I give a "lightning talk"?
Mark Fowler's article has advice on effectively structuring lightning talks.
How quick should my Lightning Talk be?
Your lightning talk should last no more than ten minutes. You will be cut off at ten minutes. A five-minute lightning talk is totally fine. A two-minute lightning talk is totally fine. Your talk should take as long as it needs to take to make a point, and no longer. Make a point. But if you need a few minutes to motivate your point, and then make it, and it takes nine minutes, that's okay too.
