One thing I try to encourage potential speakers to consider is giving a lightning talk not about one of your own projects or some code you've written but also about projects from other people, that you find interesting. This could be:
- Some cool (Python or coding-related) website you found. - An interesting blog post you read. - A new or not-so-well-known Python language feature. - A new or not-so-well-known Python (third-party) library. - An interesting algorithm or software engineering solution (e.g. design patterns). - Software development tools (editors, documentation systems, code review and refactoring tools, ...). - Interesting hardware (ergonomic keyboards, mobile computers or microcontrollers running some flavour of Python). Many people seem to (mistakingly, IMHO) think that you are only "allowed" to give a lightning talk when you have "produced" something. Offering up some of the above ideas might encourage some of them to try their first lightning talk.
