Enlighten us, but make it snappy
Gregg Pollack
The next Ignite Orlando is just around the corner, Wednesday, June
24th and registration & the call for speakers is now open:
http://www.igniteorlando.com/. If you missed out on the first Ignite,
you won't want to miss the second.
In case you're not familiar, Ignite is like BarCamp on Crack. The
first part involves 16 presentations which are 5 minutes long and each
contain 20 slides which rotate automatically every 15 seconds. The
talks can be on any topic from politics, to computers, to freelance,
to passion, to dance, to nerd rock. If you have something to say, or
teach, please do submit a talk on this form:
http://www.igniteorlando.com/speakers/ All the talks are selected
ahead of time.
The second part involves some sort of hands on contest. Last time
we broke into teams to see who could build the strongest bridge out of
tape, straws, and paperclips. This time around we have something even
more crazy in the mix, but you're going to need to be registered to
experience the fun, so please go to
http://igniteorlando2.eventbrite.com/ to RSVP.
If you want to see how awesome Ignite can be, I recommend you
watch a few videos on the official O'Reilly Ignite video podcast
(http://ignite.oreilly.com/show/) You'll find talks on The Secret
History of Fonts, Hydrogen and Helium, Samuari Swords, and even Cyborg
Anthropology.
Again, the event takes place at Slingapours on Wall Street Plaza
from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM, on Wednesday June 24th. Mark your calendars
now, and plan to get there early if you want a seat.
