| + | * Highly technical presentations are difficult (but not impossible) in this format. You might need to take it up a level and talk about ideas rather than detailed step by step technical instructions. | ||
| + | * Think about a couple of key points you want to make and include them in the description. | ||

DRAFT: do not submit proposals here yet - the process is not finished

We will be holding a series of lightning talks at the MeeGo Conference 2010 on Wednesday, November 17 (exact time TBD). Anyone can submit a proposal for a lightning talk - all submissions are due on November 3 at 23:59 Pacific Time.
Each lightning talk is exactly 5 minutes (no exceptions). We will limit the time available for lightning talks to 1-2 hours (10-20 talks). If we get more than this, then the selection committee will need to decide whether we allocate some extra time or go through an approval process for the talks.
The submission process is fairly simple. Add your proposal to the wiki table below with the following information:
