Lightning Talks at PyConAr 2010
Author: Juanjo Conti
A Lightning Talk is a short presentation chosen by the speaker, no more than five minutes long.
Unlike the Scheduled Talks, there is no approval process; the speakers just enroll during the PyConAr. The topic of the talk doesn't have to be related to Python necessarily and the speaker can talk about anything.
This rapid period guides the speakers to focus on the essentials and provides the audience about ten topics for one hour.
The good thing about the lightning talks is that you can get to know cool things in just 5 minutes. And if you are listening to a ho-hum speaker, it doesn't matter: he/she will leave in 4 minutes!
