We have reserved one hour of the NANOG 36 agenda for "Lightning Talks". A lightning talk is a very short presentation or speech by any attendee on any topic relevant to the NANOG audience. These are limited to ten minutes; this will be strictly enforced. If have a topic that's timely, interesting, or even a crackpot idea you want to share, we encourage you to consider presenting it. Signups for lightning talks will be accepted during the NANOG meeting. The Program Committee will accept relevant talks until all the slots are filled. (Details will be announced during the meeting.) Use of slides is optional. Any slides must be in PDF or Powerpoint format, and will be loaded in advance onto the speaker laptop on the podium. There is a good overview of the use of lightning talks at the Perl coference at: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html Although their format is slightly different, many of their ideas will apply here. Looking forward to seeing you in Dallas, Steve Feldman PC Chair
