---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ravi Nanavati Date: Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 3:55 PM Subject: June 23rd meeting: openings for Lightning Talks To: bostonhaskell@googlegroups.com Both speakers for the June 23rd meeting have let me know that they expect their presentations to be on the shorter side of the 30-45 minutes alloted, so that means we have some space in the schedule. We could just use that as additional free-form discussion and mingling time, but since I saw them be successful at ILC'2009 and at the Boston Lisp Meeting after that, I'd like to offer that space to anyone who wants to give a "Lightning Talk". I think we should use the same formula as the Lisp Meeting: strictly-timed 5-minute talks followed by 2-minutes for questions and answers from the audience. Lightning talks don't have to be Haskell-specific, as long as the topic is appropriate for the audience. If you're interested in giving a Lightning Talk at the June 23rd meeting, please contact me ( ravi@bluespec.com ) and let me know what you'd like to talk about. Thank you,  - Ravi Nanavati
