Reminder that these lightning talks are happening tomorrow, Tuesday February 16, at 1900 UTC / 11:00 AM Pacific. Because there are 3 presenters and a 1-hour block of time, each presenter has about 15 minutes including time for questions. We might finish early.

On the agenda:

* Pine: "LearnWIki" Instructional video series on Wikipedia mechanics (Including VE and citoid) and community practices

* Madhu Viswanathan: "Counting unique devices accessing Wikipedia projects using Last access method"

* Rosemary Rein: "Program Capacity and Learning-Building a Roadmap Together"

Hope to see you there!

Thanks for forwarding Pine!  I welcome any 10 minute talks from GLAM and Education as well.  If you add your name to the list [1], email me as well so I can contact you and forward notes for Lightning Talk speakers.

Boldly forwarding* in case others would like to view or present a lightning talk. I plan to give a lightning talk about the video series which I'm in the process of producing with the support of an individual engagement grant.

Although these talks can be about technical topics like video formats, I think that there are education and GLAM activities that could fit under the umbrella as well, especially if they have technical or research aspects. For example, I'll probably focus much of my presentation on my background research and project design process.

Hope to see you there!

Hi All,


The next Lightning Talks are scheduled for February 16th (two weeks from
today).  We hope at least 4 people will sign up for the talks by Friday
February 12th otherwise we will postpone them another month.  Lightning
Talks are an opportunity for teams @ WMF & in the Community to showcase
something they have achieved:  a quarterly goal, milestone, release, or
anything of significance to the rest of the foundation and the movement as
a whole.


Each presentation will be 10 minutes or less including time for questions.
