I'd like to run 5 minute lightning talks at this month's meeting. Do we have any takers to sign up? Come practice with LAPM what you'll be presenting at YAPC (june 3-5). 5 minutes. you can do it! *A definition from our friends at wikipedia:* A *Lightning talk* is a short presentation given at a conference or similar forum. Unlike other presentations, lightning talks last only a few minutes and several will usually be delivered in a single period by different speakers. ... The term "lightning talk" was first coined by Mark Jason Dominus for a similar session at the YAPC 19100 Conference (Yet Another Perl Conference) in June 2000[2] [3] and gradually spread to other technical conferences.
