*tap tap* this thing still on?

A couple of friends and I are trying to put together an evening of
five-minute lightning talks for early March, to be hosted in Codebase (and
streamed online, but we really want to make it an in-person event like in
the Before Times insofar as possible). We're soliciting talks on open tech,
defined very broadly: if there's a cool open-source project you want to
show off, or open data source that people might find useful, or some aspect
of licensing that isn't widely understood, or - you get the idea - then
we'd love to hear about it! It doesn't have to be something you've worked
on personally, it's fine if it only runs on Windows/AWS/other proprietary
platform, it just needs to be open in some way. If the first night goes
well, we're hoping to make it a monthly event, maybe mixing up lightning
talks with some longer ones.

So, two questions:
 - Are you interested in attending such an event? (in-person or virtually)
 - Are you interested in giving a talk?

Cheers,
Miles

Hi,

Q1 -Yes, sounds like fun, be nice to see folk again!
Q2 - Could talk about collating gis tree data for planning tree planting in
Wales; it's open data on open GIS platforms but likely to be longer than 5
minutes

Cool! That's very much the kind of thing we're after; we can probably be a
bit flexible with the schedule, depending on how many other offers we get
:-)

You just deafened us all after the silence...

I'd probably attend, commitments and health permitting.? I still have a 
innate fear and loathing of standing up and talking in public, however, 
so although there are things I could talk about I'd need to have some 
sort of a brainwave in order to volunteer for that.
