LONDON RUBY USER GROUP : LIGHTNING TALK EVENING
|
We're having our annual lightning talk evening in February. If you've not been to one of these before, it's quite simple: we have a series of short talks in one evening. We use the 20x20 format for our talks which means that each speaker gets 20 slides that auto-transition after 20 seconds, this gives them 6 minutes 40 seconds to get their points across. It's a really fun way to run a lightning talk event, and the rigid time constraints mean that the talks tend to be really entertaining (jettisoning for brevity things like explanations or support for the speakers opinions).
Wednesday 10th February 2010

18:30 INTRODUCTION
