==== Details ====
Instead of running two 45 minute talks will be having two sets of
Lightning talks.

For those who don't know what a Lightning talk is, it's a very short
talk to get a short overview about a subject. They are great because if
you are not interested in the current subject you only have to listen for 5
minutes. I personally have found that I always learn something cool,
exciting or new!

The first section will be on "General Lightning talks", each person will
get 5 minutes (and 5 minutes only) to talk about anything from something
simple as "The new idea I want help with" to the "My summary of this 45
minute talk" or even "5 cool facts about Rusty Russell".

The second section will be on "In-depth Lightning Talks", each person
will get 7 minutes to talk about something a bit more indepth.

**Slots are still available**, so if you are interested in talking, please
sign up at [1]

Don't think you can give a talk, but have an idea for a talk you'd
like to see? Add it to the **Talks I'd like to see** section[2] of the
same wiki page!
