Incubator Lightning Talks at ApacheCon US?

2006-09-06 Thread Justin Erenkrantz
Hiya everyone,

At ApacheCon US in Austin next month, we're scheduled to have a two-hour block
for Incubator Lightning Talks.  (Thursday 4:30-6:30pm)

This time is roughly to do as we see fit.

Our initial idea was to have short (15-min?) talks about as many podlings as we
can fit in to the timeslot.  Tell us what the project is about, who is
involved, why I should download it, etc, etc.  You've got 15 minutes to
convince a room full of Apache folks to contribute to your project.  Go forth.

Do folks here agree that this is a good idea?

Do we have any volunteers to help coordinate this?

Do we have podlings that are interested in presenting?

All things considered, I'd give priority to already accepted and active
podlings; but if someone has a proposal they'd like to discuss and we have
space for it, that's cool too.  Heck, if a full ASF project wants to get up
there, that's fine by me, too.  (I don't have a clue what a bunch of TLPs are
actually up to anyway...)

Note that no financial assistance will be provided to speakers in this
lightning session - so you do have to get to Austin on your own.

Thanks!  -- justin

I'm not sure at this time whether I can make it to Austin, but if I
can, I would certainly be interested in trying to sell Wicket in 15
minutes.

Cheers,

Eelco

15 minutes is way too long.  If you can't digest it to 5 minutes their eyes
have glazed over, if they aren't excited enough to dig into the project by then
you failed to persuade :)

Otherwise - great idea!

5 minutes is great people always overrun but its better to aim
for 5 than aim for 15.

5mins is good with 5mins 'gaps' for 'breething space' and 'speak swap'...

If we have enough podlings to fill 2 hours with a bunch of 5 minute
slots, sure - I don't think that'll be the case though.  But, we can
compress the time available to the podling as more folks sign up.  If
only one podling signs up, they get 2 hours to talk.  =)

FWIW, ConCom folks have suggested that it be named 'fast track' or
something.  The concept is still the same.  -- justin

Hmm, this would be much longer than your 3 minute Wicket at JavaOne
