Selenium Lightning Talks at Etsy

Hi everyone!

I'm pleased to announce that with the help of Lindsey Baron, the new co-organizer of the group and the good folks at Etsy (http://etsy.com), we're kicking off another NYC Selenium Meetup!

Join us from 7-9:30pm on Thursday, September 22 at Etsy for Selenium-Related Lightning Talks. In case you've never been to a Lightning Talks event before, it's a fun way for folks to present on a Selenium topic of choice for 7-10 minutes. The talks can be highly technical (or not), and could be on how you solved a particular Selenium pain point, how you or your company setup your own Selenium infrastructure, projects you’ve built on top of Selenium, the craziest - and/or most creative - way you’ve used Selenium, a rant about what Selenium ought to do but doesn't, or any number of other possibilities.

Sauce Labs (http://saucelabs.com) will provide drinks and refreshments, and Etsy is handling the venue logistics, so big shoutout to both companies for their support. See you in September!
