Good news, everyone: We’ve expanded the MesosCon program (http://mesoscon.org) to add lightning talks: 5-minute presentations for speakers to introduce a project they’re working on, or share an idea related to Mesos. Lightning talks will take place during lunchtime of the conference, which takes place August 20-21st, 2015 in Seattle WA.
The form to propose a lightning talk is available here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1raB-IqA4gi0elYPBHmh5lB17jQdCQWrEeMslQGeihbs/viewform When preparing your proposal, keep in mind: * 5 minutes presentations will be enforced by a time-keeper. The 5-minute presentation includes any time you may wish for Q&A, so use your time wisely. * Slides are allowed, but not required. We will have a laptop on stage with slides queued up for those that submit them in advance; using your own laptop and transitioning to use it will be included in your 5 minutes so use your time wisely! * We encourage submissions that may have previously been shared as full proposals * Only one lightning talk may be submitted per person * Lightning talk speakers will be expected to purchase full tickets to the conference The CFP opens Wednesday, June 10th 2015 and will close July 15th; speakers will decided by members of the program committee and contacted by July 22nd regarding the status of their proposal. Good luck with your proposals! Hope to see you all at MesosCon. Dave
