Hi,
Last week the London Python Code Dojo cat-herders were discussing the
possibility of making the lightning talks a permanent feature with the
following considerations:
* Talks *strictly* limited to 5mins with an additional 2mins for
questions.
* No more than 3 lightning talks per dojo.
* At least one of the talks to be titled "Module of the Month" where
someone gives us the skinny on a core module or well known / useful
external module.
* Lightning talks to be recorded and posted on a ldbpydojo YouTube
channel and aggregated via http://pyvideo.org/.
We'd want to post the videos under a CC like license (c) whoever the
speaker is. Within only a few months we'd have quite a number of
short, useful videos on Python given by a diverse number of dojo members.
We'd like to know if this idea is a go-er..?
N.
Definitely a good idea - provided that there's an obvious timer
available to the presenter.
Perhaps a "no interactive demos" rule would be good, as these always
take more time than you'd imagine.
But I *like* interactive / live-coding demos! I'd rather make sure the
speakers know they **will** be cut-off in mid-stride if they overrun
than attempting to govern duration by the fairly indirect proxy of talk
format.
For weeks with fewer than 3 talks, it might be nice to show videos
from other events in that time slot(or from other Dojos etc.).
