Saturday’s lightning sessions were fun, 5-minutes pockets of information, and we’ll be doing something similar today following lunch. We have 30-minute time blocks (one for each track) designed to let you \u2014 seriously, it could be you! \u2014 share as much quick, fun, interesting information with us as possible. Are you working on an exciting WordPress project? Do you have or use a plugin to demo that everyone should be using? Lightning sessions are where you need to be.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re planning to have 5-6 lightning sessions for each block, and they will correspond to the theme of each track \u2014 each track will have its own lightning session, so there will be two at a time. We need your proposals for these categories and days:<\/p>\n
Sunday:<\/strong>\u00a0Information and inspiration for content creators Before you tell us your idea, there are a few rules to keep in mind. First, you have to actually be at WordCamp or at least be able to mentally control someone who is, otherwise it\u2019s going to be difficult for your presentation to actually happen. This means that you need to\u00a0already<\/strong>\u00a0have a ticket to the event. Second, you need to be on site in the morning when we vote for sessions. Finally, lightning sessions will be 5 minutes long \u2014 that means you have to go quick. You can use a web browser on a computer we\u2019ll provide, but to move things along you won\u2019t be able to use your own laptop, slides, other files, etc. If you want to show something on screen, make sure it\u2019s publicly available on the web.<\/p>\n Sound good? Good! We want your proposals. For those of you that are interested in speaking at WordCamps, this is a great way to get your feet wet without a full-scale talk. Please leave a comment on this post with your proposed lightning sessions and let us know what you\u2019d like to share at WordCamp SF. Include a title and description, which track it’s intended for, and any information that will help people decide if they think it would be interesting.<\/p>\n Voting will take place just before Matt’s keynote and if you\u2019re not there we won\u2019t be able to choose your session, sorry. We’ll have the selected session proposers meet with Jane at the end of Matt’s talk so they can get setup for the after-lunch sessions.<\/p>\n Propose your lightning sessions in the comments now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday’s lightning sessions were fun, 5-minutes pockets of information, and we’ll be doing something similar today following lunch.
