20x20 Lightning Rounds
The call for proposals is now open. Please visit http://2007.xmlconference.org/public/cfp/6 to enter your proposal for a talk on any public standard or widely-implemented specification related to structured markup.
Lightning rounds are a series of short, fast-paced presentations on related topics. The rules are simple:
- Each presentation is allowed exactly 20 slides.
- Each slide is displayed for exactly 20 seconds.
- We change the slides.
As a result, each presentation lasts for exactly six minutes and forty seconds. Applause and (polite) heckling are encouraged, and the evening will be energetic, informative, and fun. The audience is welcome to come and go throughout the evening.
For 2007, we will be inviting groups developing XML and other markup-related standards to present in our lightning rounds. This will be a great opportunity to find out about a lot of new standards quickly, to get an update on the standards you’re already following, and to meet some of the hard-working people from the standards committees.
