Another vote for lightning talks being claimed on the spot. How about a compromise. If you claim one early, it'll be publicized and you can't lose your spot if there are too many?

I like that. I also think it could lead to a panel which is something I've always liked, at least from being on the panels. Get three people with oposing ideas on how to do something and watch them argue on stage while answering audience questions. At least when the topic is interesting or thought provoking. A lightning round with the subject I just converted our website from Lotus notes to work in Netscape Navigator isn't really controversial, unless you were giving it today. ___ Michael Friscia Manager, Digital Library Programming Services Yale University Library (203) 432-1856 From: Code for Libraries [CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] on behalf of Tim Spalding [t...@librarything.com] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 6:56 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Reminder - call for proposals, New England code4lib!

My experience of lightning talks is that people can sign up for them at the event, so they can be more spontaneous and of-the-moment. //Ed

I thought the distinction was that Lightning talks are very short and more informal.
