Ok, let's plan for Leigh and/or I to share the Tec de Monterrey video at the lighning talks on August 25th if there are about 10 minutes available after the tech-focused talks. Leigh might be available for an introduction and/or questions. Thanks, Pine On Aug 12, 2015 11:41 AM, Rachel Farrand

Hi, nice idea. I'm just wondering if this concept could be expanded to be more explicitly inclusive of other kinds of activities like LE, education, GLAM, Legal, Comms, Research, affiliates, etc. I think that this could increase participation. Pine On Aug 12, 2015 10:53 AM, Rachel Farrand

Hi Pine! I love the idea, so thanks for bringing it up. :) As I said in the email - it is not mandatory that the talks are tech related, however the point of these specific lightning talks are to be mostly tech related. Kevin, Megan and I are all very involved in Wikimedia Tech and are doing this
