Lecture 50 min Talks: Room 1160

Description

40 minutes of short talks; time will be divided equally between them.

  • Maximum of 8 speakers, so at least 5 minutes per talk.
  • To register, email your name and talk title to lightning@bsdcan.org or talk to us in person at the registration desk.
  • Deadline Saturday 10am to sign up. First come, first served!

At 10am on Saturday, we'll let you know how much time you have.

Slides:

  • Must be emailed to lightning@bsdcan.org before Saturday 1:30pm. If you miss that deadline, you don't get any slides.
  • Must be in PDF, not powerpoint or keynote. We don't care what software you use to make your slides; just export it to PDF.
  • We'll only be using one laptop for the presentations, so we need to get your slides onto it ahead of time and in a format it can display.
  • No "live demo" allowed, sorry.

Ideas for talks:

  • Are you hoping to recruit people to work on something with you? This is your best chance to advertize why it's cool / useful / rewarding!
  • Are you working on a complicated problem, and want others to know why it's hard? Give an overview of the subject for non-experts!
  • Are you starting an interesting project, but not ready to give a full talk yet? Tease us with what you have so far!
