We've done a couple of things at PyMNtos (http://python.mn) ...
1) A designated laptop with suggestion to use something like Google
Slides or other online service. This has a couple pitfalls -- people
either have to login to get slides or make them public in advance.
And, no terminal / live examples.
2) A Google Chromecast. The only prereq is to have Chrome and
Chromecast plugin installed. A Chromecast can cast an entire screen
(not just a tab). It works with Linux, Windows, and OSX. Pitfall fall
has been *one* laptop that due to security restrictions couldn't
install Chrome / Chromecast plugin. Also, bad wifi can cause issues,
but that hasn't been a problem for us.
HTH,

Hi folks.
What are people's experiences with doing lightning talks at a meetup?
I guess the thing that concerns me the most is setting up a half dozen
laptops on a projector they've never been hooked up to before.
Do people do a "designated laptop" for the talks, and ask presenters
to
bring their slides on a USB flash drive?
Also, what's a good duration? Maybe targeting 5-10 minutes?
Thanks.;
