[Sydney] August Lightning Talks

[Richard Banks]

After a good, thought provoking night last night with the talk on M and Oslo and DSL goodness (thanks Justin) we’re changing things around for the next meeting and doing another round of lightning talks.

 

We had a lot of fun doing this last time and saw a wide range of subjects covered as well as getting some people through their first public presentations.

 

So, I need some presenters - if that’s you then drop me a line with your session idea.

 

A few rules

1.       Duration: 10 minutes or less.

2.       Subject: Anything as long as it’s interesting (and probably dev related)

3.       Experience: No previous presentation experience required

4.       Attitude: Have fun!  Grumpy bastards not allowed

 

I’ll finalise the list in a few weeks so that people have time to prep.

 

Regards,

Richard Banks

So Scott Bellware can't present? : )   This might rule me out as well

I was waiting for that response :-)  Thanks for not letting me down!

Only perl programmers.

 

Feel free to ask me why. :P

Grumpy people keep other people from going off on tangents.

Grumpy uninspiring developers make a work place a terrible place to
be. (Especially when their senior)

[Richard Banks]

You can do the same with a laugh and a smile.  You just need to guts to speak up when it’s happening. :-)

I'd prefer grumpy to uninspired. "Microsoft Only" shops are no fun at all.
There are smart people in places other than Redmond.
