A regular feature, PGCon will have a Lightning talks session, with presentations on diverse topics. The format remains essentially the same: in a one hour period, audiences are entertained and informed by a rapid fire series of short talks on interesting new or on-going work by individuals or groups. Slides aer permitted, but not obligatory; pictures are highly recommended. Topic areas include new open source software projects, works in progress for future releases of existing projects, student projects, etc. Lightning talks topics this year may make good conference papers next year! The number of slots is limited, and experience suggests there will be more takers than slots. Sign up well in advance to be assured a spot. Please subscribe to the PGCon announce mailing list and wait for the call to go out for submissions.
