Tomorrow will be our first session of lightning talks where we cover a multitude of topics in "breadth" vs our typical "depth" topics. A lightning talk is meant to be given in about 5 minutes and cover topic just lightly enough to let the audience know 1) its something out there 2) basically what it takes and 3) someone they know they can ask questions of down the road or after the meeting.
Take the time and think about your 2009 and come up with a tag, a method, a topic or even a project recap to talk about that the group may find of interest and possibly put to work in their own environments. There are plenty of things to cover even outside of CF, from IDEs to Databases, to Analytics and Productivity Tools. Its only 5 minutes and doesn't have to be that long, basically one example or a few slides. We all have knowledge to share. Also keep in mind that we will be giving away our Adobe Grand Prize at this meeting. This prize will be given to one of our lightning talk presenters, which is a gift certificate to the Adobe Store for one prize worth up to $2100.
