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 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Motivational_and_educational_video_to_introduce_Wikimedia/January_message_to_village_pumps 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! Pine

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.
