Overview
========
"A lightning talk is a very short presentation given at a conference
or similar forum. Unlike other presentations, lightning talks last
only a few minutes and several will usually be delivered in a single
period by different speakers." - Wikipedia

Sign up
========
Lightning talks are fun to watch and even more fun to give. Everyone
is passionate about something, and this is a great way to share that
passion. It takes very little commitment to present something, making
it a great way to test the waters before giving larger presentations.

Speaker Preparation Workshop
========================
TriLUG will be running an optional Lightning Talk prep session at
Splat Space in Durham (331 W. Main St.) on Saturday, August 30th from
