edPUG - Your Lightning Talks and Lean Coffee Discussion
Description changed:
As we don't have a speaker this month (we should have an exciting speaker confirmed for next month though) we thought we'd take inspiration from the feedback survey and give the edPUGGERS a chance to give a short lightning talk if they wish to do so. There's no pressure to do one, so feel free just to come along and watch!
A lightning talk is just a short (5 minute) talk. It doesn't need to be polished, well rehearsed or fancy in any way. You can make it up on the spot if you like!
It can be about anything you like, here are some ideas but you are not limited to these at all! - A problem you recently solved at work, a library / framework or tool you've recently discovered, something new you've just learned, a website you've recently launched, something that annoys you, something you love, a cool feature you've developed, a new solution to an old problem, something that's inspired you from another language or framework, something you want to learn more about.
Slides are not required at all, but you may wish to have one or more slides (the less slides the better)
If you have slides, have them on the Internet available at a url as there will be a single laptop connected to the TV.
We have no idea how many of you will do a talk, so expect anything, but remember, we are our own audience and want each other to succeed!
Following the lighning talks we'll have a Lean Coffee Discussion, where we can all contribute to the possible subjects together and use our own votes to decide what makes it into the agenda.

"Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants gather, build an agenda, and begin talking. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting was democratically generated. "
We'll then head to Footlights for a few drinks!
(We don't have a sponsor yet so may only have light snacks and a few drinks)
