Re: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Lightning Talks August 25

[Pine W]

Ok, let's plan for Leigh and/or I to share the Tec de Monterrey video at
the lighning talks on August 25th if there are about 10 minutes available
after the tech-focused talks. Leigh might be available for an introduction
and/or questions.

Thanks,

Pine

Re: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Lightning Talks August 25

[Rachel Farrand]

Hi Pine! I love the idea, so thanks for bringing it up. :)

As I said in the email - it is not mandatory that the talks are tech
related, however the point of these specific lightning talks are to be
mostly tech related. Kevin, Megan and I are all very involved in Wikimedia
Tech and are doing this specifically with the goal of spreading information
about ongoing tech projects. We will probably give priority to tech focused
talks for this series, but any extra space can go to whatever else wants to
participate.
If there is someone else (you!?) or another group who wants to run lighting
with the purpose of a broader range of topics I will be happy and willing
to share our lessons learned from these lightning talks. Keep in mind that
this is only our second round of talks so we still have lots of room to
learn, improve, document and change.

A goal of mine is to start documenting the organization process and lessons
from running these talks. Anything that gets written up will go here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Calendar/How_to_schedule_an_event#Lightning_Talks
There is already a small amount of info, but not much. Check back for
updates! :)

Hope this helps!

Re: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Lightning Talks August 25

[Pine W]

Hi, nice idea. I'm just wondering if this concept could be expanded to be
more explicitly inclusive of other kinds of activities like L&E, education,
GLAM, Legal, Comms, Research, affiliates, etc. I think that this could
increase participation.

[Wikitech-l] Fwd: Lightning Talks August 25

[Rachel Farrand]

We (Kevin Leduc, Megan Nestler and I) will be doing a second run of
lightning talks  on August
25. The first round had about 40 people viewing living bother remotely and
in SF as well as another 45 views after the talks.
~ More logistic details/signups found in the email below ~

These lightning talks are meant for anyone working on wikimedia tech and
are not limited to WMF engineers. If you would like to do a lightning talk
on any project you are working on please feel free to sign up. Make sure to
include contact information (or email it to me) so that we (the lightning
talk organizers) can coordinate with you. These lightning talks should be
relevant to something related to our movement and will mostly be focused on
tech related projects however it is not mandatory that they are related to
tech.

These talks will continue every month until there is no longer interest.

A youtube stream will be sent out to this list just before the talks start
so you can follow along, you can ask questions on IRC, and the talks will
also be recorded so that you can watch them whenever you like.

We will adapt this process as we go to make it as interesting and useful to
everyone as we can.

Hello!


The next round of Lightning Talks are in two weeks. This effort will not
work without your participation...

Lightning Talks are an opportunity for teams @ WMF & in the Community to
showcase a Quarterly Goal acheived, significant milestone, release, or
anything of significance to the rest of the foundation and the movement as
a whole. These talks will be open to our communities.

Each presentation will be 10 minutes or less, the formal part should be not
be longer than 5 minutes and the remainder can be used for questions.

Too many questions to answer in the allotted time?  No worries, your
lightning talk will be a great candidate for a future Tech Talk.

Second Round of Lightning Talks:

When: Tuesday August 25, 1800 UTC
,
11am PDT

Where: 5th Floor

Remotees: On-Air google hangout will be provided just before the meeting

IRC: #wikimedia-tech

Sign up for a 10 minute slot here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks

With interest, this meeting will become a monthly event.

Thanks!
Kevin Leduc, Rachel Farrand, Megan Neisler
