Two days of LightningTalks for the DeveloperDecathlon

What is a lightning talk? = "lightning" refers to two things: a.) eye opening, as in a "lightning bolt to the brain", and b.) ideas that are quick and to the point.

• We'll have flipcharts, whiteboards and a projector on hand for any visual aids, though you only need to bring your brightest ideas! 8D

We hope the LightningTalks will inspire you to innovate a prototype for the DeveloperDecathlon !

Tuesday Morning (10th)

10am-11am Morning ice-breaker presentations: We've scheduled the first presentation for the morning session, after that you'll be expected to get up and engage the group with your own ideas <--see EventEtiquette.
