LightningTalks

Page history last edited by Dow Osage 8 years, 7 months ago

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

 

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

 

An exception: You may present a new project that was fully coded during the devhouse in question.  

 

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, etc) 
  2. If your talk has slides, they must be in an open format. Acceptable formats are
    1. Another page on the wiki (ideal)
    2. PDF
    3. Flash
    4. HTML
    5. Text

 

Check out some of the slides from past SuperHappyDevHouses, including 343332, and 31
