This month we're going to mix things up a bit. Instead of bringing people in to talk, us, the members, will be the speakers (if you want to).

This month will be 5min lightening rounds about a topic of your choice. You could discuss something cool you are working on, a neat technology you want to share, or just stand up in front of everyone and tell jokes. Talk about whatever you think is appropriate. We'll have a projector. Bring a laptop if you want to do something specific, otherwise you can probably borrow one.

Please add your name and topic to this wiki page if you would like to contribute:
