Hello!
October's Lightning Talks are in less than 2 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. This month we will also have some Google Summer of Code participants showcase their work on Mediawiki.
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.
Next round of Lightning Talks:
When: Tuesday October 27, 1800 UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lightning+Talks&iso=20151027T18&p1=1440&ah=1, 11am PDT
Where: 5th Floor
Remotees: On-Air google hangout will be provided just before the meeting
IRC: #wikimedia-tech
