-----Original Message----- From: chairs-request@w3.org On Behalf Of Dominique Hazaël-Massieux Sent: Wednesday, 02 February, 2005 3:03 To: chairs@w3.org Subject: Lightning talks at the Technical Plenary: Call for Proposals Dear Chairs. One of the most popular items on the annual Technical Plenary Day is the lightning talks session. Building upon the success of previous years, we have an hour long slot [1] during which attendees may make a 3 minute presentation. A further 3 minutes will be allowed for each speaker to answer questions from the audience. Subject matter may be whatever takes your fancy (though obviously relevant to the W3C audience) and may represent the views of an individual (the more controversial the better) or simply report on interesting progress from a Working Group. The point is to make a point and explain it as quickly as possible. Where we have more than one speaker on a given topic we may elect to collapse the Q&A sessions into a mini-panel, so don't worry if you suspect someone else may have already grabbed your chosen subject. We're accepting proposals now from all attendees. We expect to have one or two slots open until the Tuesday evening for late breaking news. Potential presenters should send suggested talk topics, audio/visual requirements and any questions to member-techplenary@w3.org or to paul.downey@bt.com / dom@w3.org directly if you prefer. So if you could share this call for talks with your Working Group, that would be most appreciated. Paul Downey, Dominique Hazaël-Massieux 2005 Technical Plenary Planning Committee 1.
