This is the second meeting of 2021, the February monthly meeting. And it's another virtual meeting, starting at 19:00 (7pm).

I'm sure you have all heard me saying how good lightning talks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_talk) are, both as a way to share one's interests, and also as a way to start and practice speaking in front of an audience.

There's a strong tradition of lightning talks at Python conferences, and it's always one of the most popular sessions.

This month, we shall watch a lightning talk session from a previous PyCon UK (I've got a session in mind), which is about an hour long. We can discuss things in the chat as we watch, and perhaps have a discussion at the end.

The meeting will be at https://meet.jit.si/LightningTalksQuiteShortQuiteNice

Although I've "started" the meeting, I shall only start paying attention at about 18:45 (6:45pm), and the meeting itself won't start until 19:00 (7pm), with the normal introductory comments.

You should find that you start with both your sound and video off. As always, feel free not to share video if you prefer not to.

There's no fixed time for stopping - we'll see how it goes.

Note that Jitsi says that it really only works with the Chrome browser - apparently there are still problems with Firefox and Safari.

Remember that everything we do must follow our code of conduct - see https://github.com/campug/organisational/blob/master/CodeOfConduct.rst Basically, be considerate to each other.

And lastly, feel free to join our slack group (https://join.slack.com/t/campug/shared_invite/enQtMzM2NjcwMzM2ODM2LTQyMmQ5MmVlZGMxMzBhOGQ0MTQ1ZGMyMTkzYjc1MWQzM2M2ZDViZDc5NDEyYmViY2QyNWJlMjg2ZTkwNzc3NjM) for general discussion before and after the meeting.
