Lightning Talks

including: Conspiracy, dissent and FUD, Balloon Open Hardware Board & Licence and Why tracker is cooler than unsliced cheese.

This talk session will be split into five minute segements for lightning talks on a variety of subjects from different speakers. Lightning talks have long been a staple of Perl conferences and offer a way to get an idea, technique, interesting piece of software, etc out to the audience without all the overhead of a regular talk; now let's try them at DebConf.

The five minute time limit will be strictly enforced. Hopefully we will manage to have 6 or 7 talks in this time. Anyone who would like to give a talk should contact the organiser. We will have a rehersal session at some point beforehand.

Notes to organisers: A fixed mic will be needed for the talks. The Organiser will handle timekeeping reminders, etc. Use of laptops will be discouraged. The track is "technical" just because most of them probably will be. It's possible that we might conflict with speakers in some other track since all the lightning talks won't be known in time; I'll try to have an alternate lined up in case this happens.
