The Tech Conference Show - Lightning Talks (EuroOSCon 2006)
The Tech Conference Show at EuroOSCon - The Lightning Talks (MP3 29. mb 24 minutes 10 seconds)
LISTEN HERE
I’ll let Piers Cawley explain this one…
This year’s EuroOSCON had no lightning talks scheduled. Then, late on Wednesday night, I noticed that a talk had been cancelled. Aha! I thought. I asked around a few people I knew who normally go for the lightning thing, got a critical mass of interested parties, went and found Nat and we were good to go. And it was good. Even if we hadn’t organized the session at less than 12 hours notice it would have been good.
So who do we have?
BooK, The Sensational YAPC Magazine Covers.
Dennis Kaarsemaker, Ubuntu and Launchpad.
Suw Charman, Open Rights Group UK.
Damian Conway, 101 Reasons I Love Perl 6.
Gervase Markham, Phishing: Conning the Unwary for Fun and Profit.
Jesse Vincent, Refactoring Perl.
Missing here are three talks. One from Piers himself on how to make sure that pictures taken of you are good (it was highly visual and just didn’t work as a ‘cast); Russ Nelson talking about his chorded keybaord (Russ and I coverd 95% of the same ground in the interview from Make Fest); and some random bloke called Ewan Spence talking about podcasting…
