Hello!
September's Lightning Talks are in two weeks and we are looking for more volunteers to present. Lightning Talks are an opportunity for teams @ WMF & in the Community to showcase a Quarterly Goal achieved, 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. We need at least three people to sign-up to be speakers on the wiki page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks by September 15 or else the talks will be postponed to the next month.
Too many questions to answer in the allotted time? No worries, your lightning talk will be a great candidate for a future Tech Talk.
