====Location==== Google Sydney - 48 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont ====Summary==== * Date: Friday July 30 2010 * Start time: Arrive at 6pm for a 6:30pm start * Format: Lightning talks * == RSVP at http://slug.eventbrite.com == * Suggest or sign up for a talk at [1]
==== Details ==== Instead of running two 45 minute talks will be having two sets of Lightning talks. For those who don't know what a Lightning talk is, it's a very short talk to get a short overview about a subject. They are great because if you are not interested in the current subject you only have to listen for 5 minutes. I personally have found that I always learn something cool, exciting or new! The first section will be on "General Lightning talks", each person will get 5 minutes (and 5 minutes only) to talk about anything from something simple as "The new idea I want help with" to the "My summary of this 45 minute talk" or even "5 cool facts about Rusty Russell". The second section will be on "In-depth Lightning Talks", each person will get 7 minutes to talk about something a bit more indepth. **Slots are still available**, so if you are interested in talking, please sign up at [1] Don't think you can give a talk, but have an idea for a talk you'd like to see? Add it to the **Talks I'd like to see** section[2] of the same wiki page!
