HacDC Lightning Talks

Date: 
17 November 2009 - 7:30pm - 9:30pm

HacDC Lightning Talks touch down on Tues, November 17th and bring together 12 hackers who will collectively answer the question, "what do I feel like geeking out about today." Each talk is 5 minutes long, and slides are optional. More importantly, cookies will be served.

Topics can be anything of interest to the speaker. Speakers submit their ideas for approval, and 12 topics are chosen for a given session. Rejected topics may be resubmitted for any future session. To submit a talk topic proposal, please email me a title and brief description (if not self explanatory) at dp - at - danielpacker - dot - org or say hello on #hacdc on freenode (my nick is obscurite).
